Rock Star Obama

Clooney says it so it must be true.

"You've been in a room once in a while with a rock star. He walks into the world, and he takes your breath away. I'd love him to be president, quite honestly," the actor told reporters Friday at the Venice Film Festival, where his legal thriller "Michael Clayton" was premiering.

Yeah, that's what I'd want, a rock star for president. Talk about flushing the country down the crapper.

But with brilliant support like this, I'm sure the moderate centrist will jump right on board.

Or not.
