Not notable. There appears to be little to no reliable source information on the song. See, for example, What it comes down to is that there does not appear to be enough reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy to maintain an independent article on this topic. -- Suntag  ☼  19:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC) This Article should Not be deleted. Search for CNN Obama Rap on "Google" and you will see pages of links to the Obama Rap. Greg Reese has had a Live appearance on FOX 19 morning show in Cincinnati where he performed the Obama and McCain Rap. One Live over the phone interview with CNN International Reporter Errol Barnett where he played portions of the Obama, McCain and Palin Raps. One prerecorded interview with producers of I report for CNN where they featured The CNN OBAMA RAP SONG. The Obama rap was vetted by CNN.com and Turner Broadcasting employees as a feature story.

The Last thing, just because its stupid in your opinion does not make it stupid. You must go with Facts and the facts can be verified.GregReesefromcincinnati (talk) 16:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by GregReesefromcincinnati (talk • contribs) 16:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Egad. Wikipedia is not a place for promoting stupid viral videos. Fails WP:NOT, WP:N, with WP:SPAM and WP:COI issues as well. RayAYang (talk) 22:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Inappropriate title suggesting CNN endorsed or made this video and only notable for appearing on a viral video roundup program? This is far from reaching Obama Girl noteriety by any means.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 10:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I just had to move the block of text above from where it was posted (above the nomination) to where it should be (in the votes). Anyway, the article fails oh so many WP:NOT criterion and the above block of text is merely a bunch of WP:AADD arguments boiled into one "vote". It also seems to be by the subject of the article, so the article also violates WP:COI, WP:OWN and WP:WEBHOST. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 18:29, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
