Pres. Obama is Team Mariah Carey In 'American Idol' Nicki Minaj Feud

The president might have a lot on his plate right now with the upcoming election and debate tonight, but that doesn't mean the leader of the free world doesn't have a minute or two to ponder the epic feud between embattled American Idol hosts, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.

"I think that they are going to be able to sort it out," Obama said on Michael Yo's radio show. "I am confident."

As if he lifted verbiage from one of his speeches, the president continued on the state of Nicki and Mariah, two opposing forces who need to find peace.

"I'm all about bringing people together, working for the same cause," he said. "I think both outstanding artists are going to be able to make sure that they're moving forward and not going backwards."

Yeah, but if it came down to it, Mr. President, who's got your vote?

"Mariah. She's actually done some events for us. I've gotten to know her and Nick Cannon. She's a wonderful lady," he said confidently.

Perhaps, Obama is still smarting from Nicki's joke this summer about voting for Mitt Romney...
