Hahahaha.
Despite the fact that Osama Bin Laden is still apparently dead, the approval rating for Barack Obama just sunk for the first time under 40%. According to Gallup, the approval rating for the occupier of the White House was at 39%, while the disapproval rating was at 54%. (Racism, obviously!)
There are so many possibilities for songs that could accompany this development. However, Philadelphia Jewish Culture Examiner goes back a quarter-century to the still-possibly-ironically-given-this-particular-case-titled Born in the U.S.A. album by the ponderous, humorless Bruce Springsteen, who has not released a song that will linger in any sort of canon since President Reagan was in office.

That blog is full of spyware and flash crap and creepy crawly things. Why not just post the entire article if you deem it worthy? Save us all the bugs.
The draft dodger will have to come up with something for this worthless POS living in our White House.
(Sigh...) Why not just instead not go to the article or activate your protection sofrware?
Why not whine to JimRob that Examiner.com, if so supposedly dangerous a site, should not be allowed to be linked to?
And the policy is that you should only put parts of articles up.
Thanks for your tremendous input there.
Here is the article. Hardly worth excerpting.

Those who have seen Amadeus may understanding what this writer means in saying that Springsteen is apparently a Salieri for our era. (Actually, more of a Salieri for the era in which The Jeffersons was on the prime-time air.)

This is of course the Bruce Springsteen, aka “The Boss,” who spoke on October 4, 2008 at an Obama rally/concert on Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. Springsteen enlightened the crowd, among other things, that “what we really need is someone to lead us on an American reclamation project” and that “we remain for many, many people this house of dreams, and 1,000 George Bushes and 1,000 Dick Cheneys will never be able to tear that house down.”
(Springsteen was introduced, by the way, by Angelo Cataldi of the sports-oriented 610 WIP Morning Show. Later that month, on the tremendous morning after the Phillies won the World Series, Cataldi thought it was appropriate to use the most celebratory occasion during his many years on the air to feature and thus provide such-regular-Phillies-fans!!! P.R. for Jill Biden and Obama campaign adviser David Plouffe. Somehow the subject of supporting Obama never seem to come up these days when Cataldi is on the air.)
So, anyhow, the Song of the Day is the self-explanatorily-titled “I’m Goin’ Down.”
A version of the song on Youtube can be accessed via this link.
Just think about the song’s lines “I remember back when we started/ My kisses used to turn you inside out.”
Hahahaha.
I suggest “Highway to Hell” (”and I’m goin’ dowwwn...”).
You go to the link you provided, larry, and others can feel free to read the commentary at the link I provided.
Now you made your point.
You sure showed me, sarge!
We don't need "protection softrware" on FR. That's why we support it with our donations.
Did you donate, btw?
Yeah, I did donate, putz, yesterday, as a matter of fact. Thanks for asking.

Feel free, larry, since you have nothing else going on, to post the full content there as well. This could be fun,
Putz is Yiddish for friend, I take it?
Re. “hardly worth excerpting,” let’s see some of your written work, hotshot.
You are not permitted to post any entire article under FR rules. You must post an excerpt and refer to the balance of the article with a link.
There is nothing wrong with the site. Your PC must need some adjustments.
Most dishonest statement.
But I see you pimp your own blog, too.
The Examiner is as free of bugs as your understanding of FR posting guidelines is clear.
Here’s what the boss has to say about the posting of excerpts and blog material -

Read it and weep.
Thanks.
Love the Comments, e.g.:
Blatantly obvious troll behavior.
Pretends not to understand.
Reads minds (ascribes made-up motives).
Uses the brilliant and cogent argument, “I know you are, but what am I?”
Completely ignores logical rebuttals against its arguments and repeats them over and over after they’ve been shot down so bad they’re still bleeding.
Ignores Mods’ posts and continues to argue from square one as if other arguments or opinons have no bearing or are worthless.
This is an arrogant, trollish, spoiled brat, and I respectfully suggest we stop feeding it.
~THE OVERLORD~ should be able to deal with it.
Isn’t it nice that these days there’s an opportunity for certain types of people (I won’t say any name) to convince themselves that they have the power and respect that eludes them in other aspects of life?
“Larry” and schmuck with the humble-sized gun ... post pictures of yourselves so we can see what you look like in real life hahahaha! Trying to assess the psychology here.
Seriously, inquiring minds want to know. Let’s see pictures of your proud selves.
Seems the moderator wrote, in the link YOU provided: “When you write or create your own content, then it is appropriate to claim yourself as the writer of an article or producer of a video and provide a link to it on your blog.”
Obviously, there was a lot more than a mere video (which I was mocking anyway) in what of mine I linked to. But you didn’t take the time to actually look before acting like you were in a position to judge.
Don’t try to argue that it’s otherwise. Just drop it. Thanks.
(If you have a thing for Obamaist Bruce Springsteen, so be it. You have plenty of company.)
I’ll type slowly - try to comprehend.
The link I provided was to post #552, by Jim Robinson. I left the link “hot” so that you could read to which post it referred on purpose, but somehow you missed it.
As a result, you are responding to things in other posts on that thread which have nothing to do with the question at hand.
No one is saying you can’t link to your blog, or claim authorship. What we are saying is that it’s a rude abuse of the forum to use it as a hit farm for your blog, especially when the article in question is, in truth, hardly worth reading, much less excerpting.
Before you try the same tired old saw - yes, I have posted full articles here on FR, “hotshot.” And there’s a picture of me, my wife, son and a couple of our dogs on my profile page, along with some biographical information you might want to digest before throwing any more insults this way.
Thanks for the information and the suggestion to check your profile.
Not for you to interpret this at all as me backing off ... the pictures of family and pets are nice, and thanks for your service, but I wasn’t really soliciting you for those. It was the other two.
Now let’s see a sample of your own, apparently-superiorly-worth-reading written work from some point in the last few months.
