For the i-Pod-less, there are many playlists that are created by users, but the "Essentials" lists are made by Apple. It says it was posted April 28, but sounds like it was posted January 20. See the goopy Obama-loving text that came with the songs:
Welcome to the beginning of a new era in the U.S. – Barack Obama's history-making win is really a victory for all those who keep the faith and firmly believe that people have the power to make a change. John Lennon was one of rock ‘n' roll's most determined dreamers, and the better world he dared to "Imagine" may finally be within our grasp. ["Imagine there's no Heaven," and Obama makes it happen?]
Obama's goose-bump-inducing victory speech on election night referenced Sam Cooke's dare-to-dream statement "A Change Is Gonna Come," envisioning a future where spirit plus soul equals a brand new day – just the kind Bruce Springsteen started planning for in the wake of 9/11, when he forged his anthem "The Rising."

Oh, pah-uke!
Makes me love my Zune80 just that much more.
What historical win? He got affirmative action from the press and a couple of extra percentages because people thought he was going to send them a huge stimulus check. Now, they're reaping what they've sown.
If I were an Oboma supporter before the election, I wouldn't want to admit it in public now.
Those companies who are using the pre-election Oboma character for profit are wayyyyyyy behind the times. I'd fire the advertising agency trying to still use it. They're obviously not very good at following trends.
ping.
Yup, gonna be hard for the apple ‘fanboys’ to defend this. Maybe I will watch MicroSoftNBC for some news updates about it...
-”HOPE” he falls off the face of the Earth along with the entire administrations.
-”Change” the Government and make it smaller!
That’s my definition “Hope and Change”!
Hmmmm. According to the book of Daniel, the Antichrist will "have a stout voice", come as "a minister of change" and will "rewrite the laws."
Just a coincidence?
Anyone who wins a presidential election has made history. The great ones, the scoundrels, the ones in the middle have all made history. Every American history book has a list of presidents. Obama is now on one of those lists. BFD.
Blecch!
Just a hunch here ... but maybe, just maybe not all of their customers are right wingers? I don't know ... just guessing.
LOL ... Track 15 - Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Yeah, 0bama’s living in a dreamland, isn’t he? “Looks like we’re not in Illinois anymore, Bo.”
"Bad Moon Rising"
"Eve of Destruction"
"Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road"
Excellent choices! We could add:
Busted
16 Tons
Add Cult of Personality while you’re at it.
“Liar” by Henry Rollins
“Fools rush in”- Elvis
You do know that Microsoft hasn’t been involved with that network for years? They have 18% control (basically no real control) and they regret ever starting the venture in the first place.
Hell it’s not like they started the network with the hope that it would become the cesspool that it is today. Back in 1996 it was actually a halfway decent network, albeit sometime boring.

Apple FanB0i Ping.
Does it include “Gimme Dat Ding”
When apple gets beat-up for being liberal, I just like to remind folks that the absolute-bar-none-worst-tv-station bears the name of one of apple’s competitors.
People seem to justify never purchasing an apple product (or, just ‘beating up’ on them) because of either ‘al gore is on the board’ or, now, ‘a play list is liberal’...but those same folks will buy products from an MSnbc investor/supporter.
my disclaimer. I own/use MS products (xp, zune, keyboards, mice, joysticks, speakers), I own/use Apple products(mini, macbook, iMac, iPod). I prefer the apple products, but I still use both. Support my family on XP...
I misread this as goose-step-inducing victory speech...
That was my point in 2008. The media said “this is a historic election”. They all are.
If McCain had won I would bet we would already have Sarah's playlist.
"It's MY Republican Party And I Can Cry If I Want To..."
We won't. I love my ipods (yes plural) .... this on the other hand sucks.
Oh wait, that was on Meghan McCain’s playlist.
Pencil this Apple fanboy in as indifferent. It isn’t news that Apple has liberal leanings. I still prefer their products which for me are much better than the alternatives.
The Shaggs are too good for Zer0.
“Highway To Hell”...
