The best of Obama radio
Caution: this is an unabashedly pro-Obama (but not anti-Clinton).
One of the great things about Sen. Obama is his ability to inspire. We've all seen that one video. But there have been plenty of other musicians--famous and unfamous--who have been inspired to put their talents out there for Obama. And, in the same way that he inspires people of all races, he inspires music of all genres. So I've collected some of the best Obama songs. What's amazing is that they (for the most part) make their case for Obama with very specific references to his legislative history, politicla philosophy, and biography. For example, this catchy hip hop song mentions nuclear proliferation, ethics reform, Darfur, higher fuel efficiency standards, the Illinois ban on racial profiling, and Alan Keyes.
In honor of St. Patrick's day: "There's no one as Irish as Barack Obama" and "O'bama boy"
