What is the "Obama-themed reggae song" referenced in this New York Times article?

And where can I download it?

Could be this one. There's been so much Obama-related pop culture over the past two years that it's hard to know which is being referenced there. Here's a resource for all of your Obama pop music needs. My personal favorite is the Obama raggaeton.

Yes, it's probably the Cocoa Tea song.

Here is a review of Obama songs in Africa and the African diaspora, complete with links to listen to the songs. And here is another overview article on the phenomenon of reggae Obama songs.

I suspect it was Cocoa Tea too so I'm marking fancypants' answer as best because he was the first to link to it. Still, all of the links posted in this thread are great, especially the reggae Obama songs article.
