A spokesperson for the group told us, "will.i.am has already demonstrated with his campaign videos, that he can bring star power to backup any message Obama would like to convey. In fact, will.i.am is a music innovator and he can bring that same innovation to the job. He could replace the boring press briefings with You Tube videos. The best part is he can make the videos almost instantly since he'll already have a large collection of stars filmed delivering the administration's core messages of 'hope,' 'change,' and "yes we can.' All he'll have to do is plug in the press question and select the appropriate core message to issue as a response. The public are far more likely to believe the stars of Grey's Anatomy answering questions for the White House press corps, over some stuffy shirted spokesperson. Plus it will be totally viral, supporters can post the videos to their blogs, news organizations can run the videos in their broadcasts. It's a win win for everyone".
ADD is also lobbying to place other stars in high-ranking positions. They are hoping to have Sean Penn named Secretary of State, Michael Moore named the Secretary of Defense, Michael Jackson selected as the Secretary of the Treasury and Jon Bon Jovi as the Ambassador to the United Nations. An Obama spokesperson laughed and hung up on us when we called for a comment. - more on this story
