22. Politicians always try to co-opt well-known people and things

It's a time-honored tradition. Remember when Kerry talked about how 'interested' he was in Eminem's music video right before the election?

Obama has also mentioned Lil' Wayne several times as a candidate and as president, including his admission that he has Wayne's music on his iPod. I find it hard to believe that Obama rocks out to that while jogging, but anything is possible I guess.

Back before it was nonstop aliens and pawn shops, the history channel had an amusing piece called 'The President on Superbowl Sunday.' It was interesting seeing the endless ways that candidates and presidents have tried to insert themselves into the Superbowl hype and somehow gain an advantage from it.

Tebow's a big deal in the media right now, so it's natural for the candidates to try to shoehorn themselves into the story.
