Obamamania: iTunes, musicians cash in

I don't care if Obama stimulates your creative juices--I don't want to hear a song called "Barack Obama." Now available on iTunes is a collection of songs inspired by Obama. Some of the artists moved by the man are Nas, will.i.am., and a host of lesser known crooners and troubadours.

The best songs written about politicians should be less obvious, which makes them cooler than some folksy kid strumming a version of "Barack Smile."
