With the U.S. presidential campaign in full swing, the airwaves are inundated with Barack Obama and John McCain and more staged, bland talking points than I can stomach. It’s all so frightfully boring. No drama, no excitement. Every move, every word uttered, every glance, smile, and handshake is meticulously choreographed. It got me thinking about what the country really needs: a badass rock star to lead, not just the U.S., but the entire freakin’ world! With that in mind, the good folks at JamsBio created the ultimate political race with a full governmental cabinet for your selection. Power to the people!

PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD
Bruce Springsteen


Bruce Springsteen
Boss of the World! Born to run –for office? Jersey’s favorite son is everyman’s favorite candidate!
He will guard your dreams and visions.

VS Bono

Vote for this humanitarian uber-star and our future’s so bright, he’s gotta wear shades.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
Gene Simmons


Gene Simmons
War paint, stompin’ shoes and an Army of One whose tongue is an bio-weapon in a class of its own.

VS Ted Nugent


Ted Nugent
An extremist on stage & on the ballot, this right wing rocker has invited all Democrats to “suck on [his] machine gun.” Should he pull the trigger?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
DIRECTOR OF INTELLIGENCE
Chuck D


Chuck D
Public Enemy for Public Office? This rapper calls it like he sees it on the global political stage.

VS Eddie Vedder


Eddie Vedder
Plaid and politics? Enough warbly showmanship to fuel a fashion revolution at least, if not take down Big Oil.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR
Thom Yorke


Thom Yorke
This Karma-policeman has blazed in own trail. In charge of the Interior? You decide.

Gay-rights activist and alt-rock forerunner, Stipe could elevate his colleagues with lyrical clarity.

Outspoken Green party supporter and still fierce rocker. Does this bad girl rockers make a good role model?

DRUG CZAR

He’d smoke bio-diesel if it would get him high. This red headed stranger is pure country outlaw.

why are the only women on this list automatically relegated “education?” ARE YOU SAYING WOMEN CAN’T BE MINISTERS OF DEFENSE, TREASURY AND INTELLIGENCE? because i contest that.

Meghan said:

I’d take orders any day from General Gwen Stefani…mam…yeeeeees mam! Ditto with Sheryl.

Meghan said:

Paula Abdul in any leadership role scares me to the very core of my being…. Wait, so does Britney Spears and Whitney Houston… good singers, but not very good leaders…

How does Gwen Stefani embody leadership?

This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Hollaback girl!

rofl, nice list for…Vh1’s Divas of 2012!
Out of your choices, there are only TWO (Sinead O’Connor & Sarah McLachlan) that were even remotely politically/environmentally active and they are canadian & irish! lmao.

\r\nWith the US Presidential campaign in full swing, it got me thinking what this…

Meghan said:

Gwen has done a lot of works with AIDS, disadvantaged kids, and especially for Orange County children’s hospital and the Orangewood Children’s foundation. She actually takes on quite a leadership role, Chrissie Hynde is a long time PETA supporter and member, Bonnie Raitt and Annie Lennox put Sinead OConnor and Sarah Maclachan both to shame when it comes to political and environmental activism basically building there entire careers around it now. Bonnie Raitt has devoted the last 33 years of her life to the environment and political activism. How many times has she been arrested for environmental protests? That who I want in charge…
