The United States has a long history of celebrities running for office -- former Seattle Seahawk Steve Largent (U.S. senator from Oklahoma), wrestler Jesse Ventura (governor of Minnesota), actor and bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger (governor of California). And Ronald Reagan (who was also California governor) was an actor before he won the presidency in 1980.Right now, I wouldn't vote for any of the people who might be on the 2016 presidential ticket -- including current Vice President Joe Biden or former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton.

We need someone in there who can take charge, have a great personality and who isn't afraid of what they say. And who cares if they actually smoked a little pot? We need someone who will get stuff done.

Some celebrities probably would never fit this bill. For example, we should not want Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Wes Scantlin from Puddle of Mudd, fromer Creed frontman Scott Stapp or Phil Rudd from AC/DC. These people cannot make good life choices, so we do not them in the White House.

However, a handful of celebrities make amazing choices and are not afraid to get stuff done -- Ted Nugent, Tom Petty, James Hetfield, Angelina Jolie and even Brad Pitt.

Tell me what celebrity you think should run for president in 2016:
