President Barack Obama built his entire campaign on the premise of hope and change. Along the way, he's realigned the musical tastes associated with the leader of the free world, as evidenced by his love of hip-hop and Al Green and invitations to acts like The Killers and Yim Yames to play the White House. Fun fact: President Bush only had a paltry 250 songs on his iPod . In an effort to further play up his musical savviness (which undoubtedly translates to more votes in the Williamsburg region), [...]

So a few minutes ago a friend of mine said to me something along the lines of, "Well, I'm glad the realm of utter lunacy isn't relegated to just the Republicans." Always eager to hear the stupid things other people say, I asked for more info. "Well, CNN is reporting that Obama thinks that Jesus would back his tax policy." "Huh," I thought. Obama and I don't see eye to eye on a lot of things these days, but even for him that seemed unlikely. But instead of allowing myself to just [...]

Hear the prez take on a few brief moments from the soul legend's "Let's Stay Together."

Filed under: News JEWEL SAMAD, AFP/Getty Images President Barack Obama may be up against an increasingly disjointed group of candidates but that hasn't stopped him from compiling this crazy wish list of celebrities, musicians, politicians and philanthropists to back his campaign.
