Obama Mixtape: Spotify Playlist for 2012 Campaign

Barack Obama Made You a Mixtape

US President unveiled the playlist for his public campaign-trail appearances on the road to Election 2012. The mixtape, which you can hear on Spotify, is a crowd-pleaser by design.

Check out the Obama mixtape track list below: you know that the phrase "what are the kids listening to these days?" came up at least once, and the interns really got busy. The result is pretty good. Bonus points for Al Green and Noah and the Whale, but there may be a bit too much Darius Rucker.
