Many have wondered if Obama has been busy lately fixing America's problems, or if he's just preoccupied with re-election while he lets Clint Eastwood do the dirty work. Well, we have our answer: he's been busy compiling sweet, sweet jams on his favorite subscription music service, Spotify. Obama just tweeted a link to his playlist, which kicks off with a Raphael Saadiq track, and ranges from Ricky Martin to Arcade Fire. Now, some might wonder why Barack endorses Spotify, a Swedish service, instead of a made-in-America offering like MOG, but we're guessing Obama needs the deep, obscure cuts that only Spotify can provide him. Also, with great offline caching, there's no need to tie up that Air Force One data connection with music streams. Smart move, Mr. Commander In-Chief.
