Campaign-appropriate collabos that will push O to victory.

Obama Duets for the 2012 Campaign - Now that we know Obama can sing oh-so-presidentially (at least from what we heard when he busted out Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" at an event in Harlem last month), we have a suggestion that could help him set off his campaign for re-election in style: duets. Mitt Romney may get an endorsement from The Donald, but does he have enough Oval Office swag to bust out campaign-appropriate chart-toppers with Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Jay-Z? We think not. Click on to see the duets that will push Obama to victory in November. —Alex Gale(Photo: JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images)

Obama with Nas and Diddy, "Hate Me Now" - This song is the perfect rebuke to naysaying House Republicans, who'd vote against apple pie if Obama cooked it: You can't hate him now, but he won't stop now.(Photos from left: Stuart McEvoy - Pool/Getty Images; Bad Boy Record)
