Quoted: Election Night's Biggest Winners and Losers

Victory and concession speeches from Election Night.

But at least we had great music to get us through, whether we were celebrating or mourning. Some might say Young Jeezy set the tone with his 2008 hit "My President Is Black," but the music to follow when Obama officially took office in January 2009 to the end of his first term in January 2013 speaks for itself. Here, in honor of our 44th president's first term, we count down the 44 best songs of the past four years. (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
