This is a mix I put together last January while Obama was pitted against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
Half of these songs were used as background music during Obama's large campaign meetings with his supporters (tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11 & 14). The rest are by artists that Obama has said he likes (either in interviews or on his facebook page; Hillary wasn't as open about her musical tastes).
Track 9 has an association with the group Outkast (who Barack has stated that he thinks that they do a lot of interesting work). Some artists/groups not used that he showed an interest in are Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, and the Fugees.
Other songs he's used as background music that I didn't use are Respect by Aretha Franklin, Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield and City of Blinding Lights by U2.

Track Description:
Obama has said that this group is one of his favorites. Think the title of this song fits with his mission of inclusion (to make him the leader in the process of bringing people of all stripes together to solve the problems that face us). I know that's a bit of a stretch, but hey, I'm a supporter (1978 #9). SHOW LESS
