At Obama Victory Event, Campaign Played Jay-Z's "99 Problems (But A Bitch Ain't One)"

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.
