President Barack Obama’s December wish list didn’t include what he hoped to get from Santa Claus. Instead, he listed big names whose endorsement he hopes to secure before Election Day in November.
The star-studded list, dated December 5 and published on Wednesday by The Tennessean, contains past and current “surrogates” who Obama hopes will support him this year.
In all, the list of Hollywood heavyweights, professional athletes and Washington power players is seven pages and 194 names long.
It includes entertainers like Jay-Z, the Counting Crows, Tina Fey, Tom Hanks, Lea Michelle, Robert Cray, the Jonas Brothers and Oprah Winfrey — alongside business and public policy leaders like Warren Buffett, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, Sen. John Kerry, film producer Harvey Weinstein and HBO co-president Richard Plepler.
Obama also wants the support of sexy A-list actresses like Mila Kunis, Anne Hathaway, Eva Longoria and Blake Lively.
Also on the list, Canadian alt-rock band Arcade Fire. The Grammy-winning band played at one of Obama’s inaugural balls in 2008.
Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder is on the list, but a prominent cabinet member is missing: Hillary Clinton.
Check out list here.
Nothing like being endorsed by the scum of the earth.
I'll go out on a limb here and say that Obama will CARRY the Canadian vote.
Check out this new DUFU:
DUmmie FUnnies 01-14-12 ("To us non-Americans, Obama is Doing a Pretty Good Job!")
I am hereby publicly announcing that I support and endorse Barack Obama as Senior Hall Monitor at PS 32. OK, not Senior Hall Monitor, but with proper, constant supervision, he could possibly be a Junior Hall Monitor.

celebrity endorsement = Yawn
Sorry, the link I posted didn’t work. Here’s the complete list. Surprisingly, it does not include Hillary Clinton.

That is smart to a degree. It will influence the non-thinkers but unfortunately for him, the non-thinkers are also usually the non-voters.
Ernie Banks, one of my boyhood heroes? Al Green, one of my favorite singers? I guess race sometimes transcends good sense.
Nice picture!
You can spend a couple weeks crapping on the sidewalk in the cold, but when it comes right down to it, you'll always vote them back in.
Very impressive list.
You know you’re a hot ticket with Billie Jean King and your mother-in-law on board.
The list doesn’t identify who Maya Soetero-Ng is; I suppose they don’t want to disclose that she’s Obama’s sister.
Wouldn’t you want to secure the endorsement first, rather than risk being dissed by a particular celebrity who didn’t want to participate? The embarrassment from being rejected by one would far outweigh the benefit from endorsements from the remaining celebrities, IMHO.
It’s over, we’re doomed.
They have Sasha and Malia’s Godmother as well.
Arcade Fire? More like Flaming @ssholes. Obamanistas are dangerous.
Wait, what about the Fonz, Pee Wee Herman, Lady Gaga, Michael Moore, Michael Vick, and the entire cast from Glee?
That wish list is missing way too many celebrities.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are missing too.
