Obama's Campaign--I Believe in a Better Song

In 2004 the Dems walked triumphantly out on stage to the Black Eyed Pea's song "Let's Get Retarded." Though the words had been altered to "Let's Get it Started," those of us in the know were still wincing uncomfortably at home.

I was waiting for a hit song to come out this year called something like "Let's Be Idiots." Then, all of the brainiacs at the DNC could change the words to something like "Let's Get Into It," and proudly claim it as their campaign theme.

Luckily, Obama, who just selected Ben Harper's "I Believe in a Better Way," as his official campaign song, is taking a different (non-retarded) approach. Our prospects in '08 are looking better every day.
