President Obama's bringing in The Boss.
On Thursday, Bruce Springsteen will join former president Bill Clinton at an Obama rally in Parma, Ohio. The campaign announced later that the iconic New Jersey rocker would add another stop that same day in Ames, Iowa.
Springsteen is no stranger to Democratic rallies. The weekend before election day in 2008, he warmed up a crowd of 80,000 people at an Obama event in Cleveland. Four years prior, Springsteen took part in a similar rally for Sen. John Kerry. Tuesday will be his first campaign event in this election cycle.
"Bruce Springsteens values echo what the president and vice president stand for: hard work, fairness, integrity, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina told Ohio's The Plain Dealer. "His appearances will help with our get out the vote effort in these critical swing states and we are thrilled with his ongoing support."
Polls show the race in Ohio is tightening. As National Journal's Major Garrett reported on Wednesday, "The gap has closed from what was an 8 to 10 point Obama lead to just outside the margin of error." Consequently, Democrats are redoubling efforts there. Real Clear Politics's average of polls has Obama up by 1.3 points in the state.
In Iowa, Obama also has seen his lead shrink, according to polls.
No word on which songs Springsteen might be playing at either show -- or whether Clinton will join in on sax.
Lol. Ol’ Brucey sang Grandma Got Run Over.
Darn! I missed it. /sarc
The only singer that I can think of who is as tone deaf, is Yoko Ono.

Thanks! No problemo.
I’m goin down, down, down
I’m goin’ down, down down
Springsteen, was, and is, nothing in the world but a barroom beller who had one hit in his life. And he had that one hit because music drowned out his hollering on the Born in the USA album. He is the most no-talent entertainer of the last 100 years.
As if Bruce needed ANOTHER reason to suck.
Seems like a waste of time and money.
I figure Barry already has the Choomer Vote locked in.
Recent liberalism? He's been hard left for nearly 50 years.
Remember it well. Also "We Must Overcome" when I was in jr high.
How many CD sales of lefty Boss and others occur in communist nations? They would be nobodies in the commie countries of whose ideologies they worship. Notice how not one of them moves to one of their glorious leftist-run kingdoms. Phoneys and frauds to their core. Sean Penn is dope supreme.
Neil is still out there touring and doing high powered 12 minute versions of Cowgirl etc that are just as good as he did them 30 years ago. You can find them on youtube with 5-10 thousand hits apiece. I doubt the younger white generation likes Neil Young much, they are into Jay Zee and other rap idiots. White kids made these rappers rich same as white people put Bammy Boy into the White House
My fav of the Beatles breaker upper is “Don't Worry Kyoto, Mamma Is Only Searching For Her Hand In The Snow.” a real Plastic Ono classic.
It goes like “ahem” (clear your throat) then bugger a cat.
It is either for having a few beehives or a few sheep grazing...how Brucie skates on some of his NJ taxes. So he can hole up on his 200 acre estate with the house being taxed at normal rates but the surrounding acreage being taxed at the much lower agricultural rate. Jon Bon Jovi does the same tax dance with beehives on his property

Right. He railed against Reagan and both Bushes.
“We Must Overcome” = “We Shall Overcome”

I was referring more to his actions during the "anti-war" (pro-communist) movement of the 60s and 70s. The Vietnam era.
Springsteen. Yeah, an elite multi-millionaire lefty who likes to pretend he’s the voice of the ‘working man.’ Reminds me of one of those Viagra commercials with gray-haired dudes riding motorcycles and preening like tough guys. He’s just another faggy, liberal wuss from the northeast, who only appeals to other faggy, liberal wusses.
