President Obama Posts His Spotify 2012 Campaign Playlist
As the 2012 election season for the President of the United States comes down upon is in a hailstorm of advertisements and pushes to do the right thing, so too do the brand collaborations begin – right here with Spotify. Though we've already seen the President go on Google+ to do a fireside chat after his State of the Union address just a few days ago, this is the first real place, I'd say, we're seeing Obama really jam on the youth-tip to get back in touch with the citizens of the United States so they can vote for him in 2012. While Barack Obama has never been one to get too far away from this environment, you're going to see one whole heck of a lot more of this tech-related business as the elections come up – what better way to start than with some Spotify music?
The President has chosen to use everyone's current favorite service for hosting free to listen to and fee to stream Spotify, here sending out his musical love with links directly to the songs themselves. What better way to get in tune with the 2012 Obama Campaign than to listen to the same music the President is listening to? Of more than 500 million playlists on Spotify right this minute, we're going to go ahead and guess that this one is about to become one of the most popular. Check out the full playlist on Barack Obama's Tumblr page or head below to see each song with a link directly to your Spotify account – you'll have to grab one of those, too, if you want to listen.
