Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am is begging President Barack Obama for a job. The hip-hop icon supported the Democrat's campaign by composing "Yes We Can" in his honor in 2008 and he even wrote the anthem "America's Song" for Obama's inauguration into the White House in January.

And now he is desperate to join fellow celeb-turned-presidential aide Kal Penn - who is now Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison - because he is convinced he has more to offer Obama.

will.i.am tells Popeater.com, "Would I take a spot working for this administration? Yeah, in a heartbeat."
