According to the NY Post, Obama’s camp are looking to tap Jigga to “re-energize” the youth and minority vote for 2012.

Deputy White House Press Secretary William Burton was quoted saying:

“I can’t believe you’ve finally heard the chatter about him replacing Larry Summers. In all seriousness, keep in mind he was pretty active during the 2008 election, so I don’t think it’d surprise anyone that he would be involved again. But it’s a little premature.”

They say the camp likes Jay because he’s “a respectable celebrity who can reignite their message of hope.” I’d have to agree!
