Obama Gets Coveted Brody Jenner Endorsement

Heidi Montag is rooting for John McCain, while Lauren Conrad is remaining neutral (at least publicly) in the 2008 presidential election.

Now a new cast member on The Hills has endorsed a presidential candidate.

The star: Brody Jenner.

The pick: Barack Obama.

The reason: "He's just cool!"

Hard to argue with that, Brody! Jenner did elaborate further (fortunately), saying how it's time for a change, and how he also likes Hillary Clinton:

"I mean, [Barack Obama] is young, and I think people would take us more seriously with Iraq and everything," Brody Jenner told E! Online."Personally, I think we're either going to have a woman president, or we're going to have a black president, which are both amazing. Right now it's time for change, and I think both of them are great, but Obama is cool."

Jenner is supposedly getting his own reality show spin-off of The Hills. Maybe Barack can make a cameo on the season premiere in return.
