Is this what we all have to look forward to? Rap music during a potential presidential inaugural?

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama had some wiseguy in his camp take a swipe at Hillary Clinton through the candidate's theme song.

Richard Johnson of Page Six reports that 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 bitch ain't one.' "

Observers, according to Johnson, noted it was a veiled dig at Hillary.

"We didn't know he used that," a shocked Clinton spokesperson said.

Obama, according to Johnson, "has no problem admitting he's a rap fan."

"I tell you what, I can tell you the kinds of stuff I love dancing to . . . I'm sort of the generation of Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind and Fire," he told CNN on the campaign trail. "But I'm sort of hip to the younger stuff. You know, like Beyoncé's 'Crazy in Love.' That's a good song to dance to. Eminem . . . although he curses sometimes."

Ah, yeah, he does.

Eminem swearing sometimes... that's a funny understatement! And Mr. Obama should work on his rhymes a bit more before he makes them public. Although the idea was great - I doubt Senator Clinton will reply in the same note.
