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.

The 194-person list dug up by the Tennesseean is chock full of curveballs (and no baseball players) but musically displays such incongruities as Vampire Weekend, the Band Perry, Eric Robertson and the Boston Boys (who?), Ricky Martin, Train and Arcade Fire, just to name a few.

The first to appear on the list is Black Eyed Pea will.i.am, whose job title is inexplicably listed as a musician and a rapper, while Jay-Z only gets tagged as a musician. We smell some beef brewing!

Following will.i.am are Jessica Alba and Madeleine Albright, naturally. Also, just in case you were wondering yes, all three Jonas Brothers do make the list, and yes, their job title is officially "Jonas Brothers."
