Doesn't have to specifically label him / herself as a political philosopher - one could include, for instance, Kerouac. However, it'd be great to have an explanation of your reasoning if you go with a less obvious choice.

Chomsky
Brilliant linguist and master of language, which definitely has some value to a president. Plus, his understanding of history and the political structure of the international landscape.
The guys knows his ****.
My dream ticket is Chomsky and Hunter S. Thompson.

Im ecclectic so i would go with a mix of Foucault and Chomsky. Of course, Foucault would claim there is really no such thing as "politics" and Chomsky would say that "politics" is embeeded in everything that could be considered daily life... but what the hell both make interesting reading..

Chomsky. He has a brilliant command of facts and has frequently changed the way I view world events.

Will Durant. He has to be the best political and social philosopher there ever was.

Winston Churchill, actually. I think he was one of the most brilliant politicians of modern time.
