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 bitch 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.

this story has been roundly debunked by full video of the campaign event in question on the date in question. Huffington Post needs to fire whoever screens for stories to put on the site.

pretty hilarious how they decry the corrosive influence of "the MSM", while posting every absurd, factually vacuous story any retard with access to a keyboard and a blog can write without checking the background. some "news" site this is.

Over at KOS there is a video to prove that this is a complete lie... do you have any kind of proof that this song was played EVER at an Obama event?

I'm sure if they are challenged ..it will be just a joke and everyone should get a sense of humor. What a bunch of stupid gits

Take anything the NY Post says with a grain of salt. I can't find any reports anywhere else of Obama using that song.

Umm...I don't know the song in question but isn't it horribly inappropriate for a presidential candidate to use a song that demeans women in this way? I mean, the one line is enough to tell me how anti-woman this Jay-Z character must be. I guess Obama doesn't want women to vote for him? Or only wants "bitches" to vote for him? What is this? I'm no prude, I listen to a lot of rap & other profanity-filled music, but I certainly don't think this sort of nonsense belongs in a campaign that's trying to come across as inclusive!
