Kings of Leon's President wish

Jun 28, 2008, 4:00 GMT

Kings of Leon can't wait to get a new American President.

The four members of the US rock band are so desperate for George W. Bush to leave the White House, they don't "care" who replaces him.

Lead singer Caleb Followill said: "Everyone's so looking forward to getting a new President and at this point we don't even care who it is. Something has got to make this better. I just want to get some intelligence."

Drummer Nathan Followill added: "There has been a lot of unrivalled stupidity in politics recently."

Although Caleb claims the band are not political, he says they have been forced to address some issues in their recent songs because they feel the government's decisions have directly impacted on them.

He added to NME magazine: "We're not really political, we never have been. But we're just sick of it now. Politicians do all that stuff, and we have to pay the price.

"We travel the world and meet all these people who don't like us because we're American but we didn't do all that's**t. Most Americans didn't have anything to do with it."
