Jay Z Harvey Weinstein headline Obama s 2012 wishlist

NEW YORK, Jan 13 (TheWrap.com) -

Barack Obama

has targeted tighten to 200

celebrity supporters

- trimming from Jay-Z to

Harvey Weinstein

- whose publicity he wants to boost his re-election chances, according to a list performed by a Tennessean.

The list, antiquated Dec 5 though expelled on Friday, includes a who's who of actors, musicians, politicians and others.

Some are obvious Obama supporters, like

George Clooney

,

Tom Hanks

and

Ari Emanuel

(whose hermit Rahm used to offer as Obama's arch of staff).

According to OpenSecrets.org, both Clooney and Hanks have already donated some-more than $30,000 to a

Democratic National Committee

, as good as smaller donations to a Obama campaign. Emanuel serves as a bundler, as do a likes of

Jeffrey Katzenberg

and David Geffen.

Others on a list are not as transparently political, though one thing is clear: Obama seeks a far-reaching bottom of support, courting opposite all demographics.

To secure a girl that helped elect him final time, he wants musicians like will.i.am, Jay-z and Arcade Fire to support him.

Middle-aged group competence raise on for sports stars like Emmitt Smith and Alonzo Mourning while Weinstein and Madeline Albright can captivate a abounding and powerful.

Even a fanboy and precoital child throng - whose voting standing is adult for discuss - might find Blake Lively and Mila Kunis amply persuasive.

Of course, Obama had a ton of support from a magnanimous Hollywood group final time around. The doubt is if their support will be as romantic in 2012.

At a really least, he can bank on a support of one huge figure -- Oprah Winfrey. The media noble told CNN Friday that she is behind Obama 100 percent.
