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.
