How about this?

From the NY Post:

January 14, 2008 — PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Barack Obama claims to run a clean campaign, but someone in his camp took a swipe at Hillary Clinton through the candidate’s theme song.

As Obama and his wife, Michelle, strolled triumphantly into his victory party in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 3, Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” was blaring. In it, Jay raps, “I got 99 problems, but a b**ch ain’t one.”

Some listeners took it as a not-so-sly reference to Hillary.

“We didn’t know he used that,” a shocked Clinton spokesperson said.

Obama has no problem admitting he’s a rap fan.

Whoa. Choice of song when you walk out in victory is DEFINITELY telling. That was definitively against Hillary. I happened to find myself at Ronald Reagan’s first Presidential victory party on election night, and the singer sang “He’s leaving... On a Midnight Train to Georgia..” for obvious reasons.
