President Barack Obama is reportedly looking to Jay-Z to have a role in his 2012 re-election campaign. "I can't believe you've finally heard the chatter about [Jay] replacing Larry Summers," Deputy White House Press Secretary William Burton joked with the New York Post. "In all seriousness, keep in mind he was pretty active during the 2008 election, so I don't think it'd surprise anyone that [Jay] would be involved again. But it's a little premature."
A large part of Obama's voter base in 2008 was young people, and personalities like Jay-Z helped drum up support for the then-presidential hopeful.
