Unfortunately, my musical tastes run very similar to Hillary Clinton’s.  It makes me want to delete half the songs in my iPod.

Meanwhile, Barack loves cool jazz.  Which figures.  My man-crushee is the very definition of cool.  And Obama and I are both down on Beyonce.

Check out the photo above.  Barack even as a mere lad was too hip for the room.  Hillary, was, well, the smart girl you liked to help you with your homework but really didn’t want to take to the fraternity dance.

Here’s an excerpt from BlueBeat.com and the musical likes of the next President of the United States:

Hillary’s Choice Cuts contains songs that she told the New York Post were some of her favorites, including The Beatles “Hey Jude”, Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”, The Eagles “Take It To The Limit”, and U2’s “Beautiful Day”. “I’ve got everything—a total smorgasbord,” Senator Clinton said, “I’m a child of the ’60s and ’70s.”

Barack Around The Clock contains music that also embodies his cool jazz, Motown roots. “I’m old school, so generally, I’m more of a jazz guy, a Miles Davis, a John Coltrane guy, more of a Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonderkind of guy,” Obama told New York City radio station Hot 97, “Buthaving said that, I’m current enough that I’ve got a little bit of Jay-Z, and a little Beyonce.”
