Apolitical is too vague, IMHO, to be used for or not for Jesus. Apolitical is having no involvement or intrerst in politics. Jesus was involved in theological politics, and then was forced into governmental politics towards the end, but his main involvement was in philosophy. Jesus, whether you believe or not, was a great philosopher. When we think of great philosophers from ancient times, Aristotle, Buddha, Confucius, Epicurus, Plato, etc., we do not think of their effect on politics. While a lot of the ideologies brought fourth from philosophers can have a political effect, I'm not sure if a direct corrilation is merrited.
'Christ for President' is a fun way to cheat your take on politics into a simplistic fantasy that can be a relief, but He isn't running. Even if He were here, I don't think He would run for office or become political.
