Want a chance to introduce Bruce Springsteen? You'll have to act fast - and be able to do four hours of volunteer work today for Barack Obama in Pennsylvania.

That's just one of the latest bits of news about this "little" event on the Parkway tomorrow afternoon.

You've probably heard about it: Free Springsteen concert. Gigantic crowd expected. Gates open at 2 p.m. Event at 3:30 p.m.

It's also an Obama rally that hopes to boost voter registration before Monday's deadline in Pennsylvania, and recruit more volunteers.

Another campaign contribution dressed up as journalism, complete with links for readers who are insufficiently motivated to act independently. The links will take you to an Obama site where you can "volunteer"...

If this ain't illegal, I'll eat my own cooking.

"Want a chance to introduce Bruce Springsteen?"

NO.

Get out the ketchup, Katie.

Oversight of Barack Obama’s campaign is to Federal Reserve oversight is to Barney Frank!

Bon Appetit!

The left’s cult of celebrity is simply the manifestation of the desires of so many without lives of their own to live vicariously through others.

Bruce Springsteen - Rockin' for Bin Laden

Hope there will be Philly freepers there to greet him in kind.

Sure, I’d love to introduce the bed wetter. My introduction would surely start a fight on stage, but it would be worth it.

[justkate]

ok ok

ketchup it is. At least someone else cooked the ketchup.

And it’s interesting that the “altruistic” Left’s first question re: volunteering is,

“Hey, Dude. What’s in it for me???”

[RexBeach]

This sounds as though it could be a disaster.

No tickets needed; gates open to everyone. Wow. Without tons of security, this is a recipe for trouble.

What if thousands rush the stage? Uh-oh.

[justkate]

“What if thousands rush the stage?”

You have to volunteer to work for Obama for 600 hrs. before you’re allowed to rush the stage.

Springsteen sucks!
There I said it. Now lets get on with our Friday schedule.

[RexBeach]

I should have known that! :)

Springsteen was the Kiss of Death for Kerry and now for Obama! Next, Obama will be seen hunting with his team in the fields of Ohio with shot guns. Another Kerry moment aka - Kiss of Death scenario. The last will be Obama chugging boilermakers and hard liquor with those desperate bitter people who hang on to their guns and God. Not a Kerry moment this time but the Clinton Kiss of Death scenario. Yes, history repeats and will continue to repeat itself in the Dem Deja Vu Crosby Stills and Hash heaven...

There's some good, patriotic stuff out there in the southern-fried rock/rock-a-billy genres out there...

It’d be one thing if Brooose took all politicians to task for being down on the common man, but he has a dog in the fight which means he is to be held personally accountable when the crooks and liars he endorses slip up or are exposed as frauds and thugs.

The Lewinskies are embarassing.
