Bruce Springsteen will be back campaigning for President Barack Obama.
The musician will join former President Bill Clinton at a Thursday rally in Parma, Ohio, two days after the second presidential debate.
Obama will not attend the rally. Springsteen also will appear at a campaign event Thursday in Ames, Iowa.
Springsteen campaigned for Obama in 2008, but these will be his first political appearances of the 2012 cycle. Clinton is a prominent campaigner for Obama.
I'm sorry, getting Bruce Springsteen to campaign for you is, in the words of Joe the Debater, "a big fucking deal."
And you KNOW that Springsteen speaks directly to those middle class Americans that Mitt Romney will increase taxes on in order to cut taxes for his fellow 1 percenters. And having the Big Dog, Bill Clinton, along is certainly going to help bring in the crowds, AND get out the message.
Springsteen's fans are Obama's base. Makes sense he would campaign for him.
Update: It looks like Obama is bringing in ALL of the demographics.

The killer Beez...Barack, Bruce and Bill!
ReplyDeleteLove it
DeleteLOVE IT!!!!
DeleteHey, Biden is a B guy, also too!
DeleteI really like this team to go all the way!!!
Wonder when Rmoney will get Sarah, Ted Nugent, Hank Jr. and Kid Rock out on the campaign stump?? Cause, that's the conservative heavy-weights. Well, except for Sarah, who's melting...
ReplyDeleteI'm melting..........
DeleteSarah doesn't need even a little bit of drizzle before she looks like shizzle.
DeleteBruce is the man! He writes the best songs..he's genuine and honest. I'd leave my husband for him. And I love my husband!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that would make this sweeter would be to have, at the same concert, oh...let's see:
Bruce, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Riatt, Eddie Vedder, Tom Morello, Jimmy Buffett, the Neville Brothers, Jay-Z (yes, him!) and the Dixie Frickin' Chicks!
LIBRALPALOOZA!!!!!!!!
DeleteHey, if you can book that show I'm there! Better yet, make it a whole weekend.
DeleteNot a fan of Jackson Browne. Sorry, but...he was abusive towards Daryl Hannah.
DeleteI dunno, Anon341.... seems like I recall you once offered to leave your husband for prop comic and internationally acclaimed plastic surgery enthusiast Carrot Top...
DeleteCarrot Top???
Obama/The Boss2012
Beldar J., I think you're right. I do remember that comment!
DeleteBut I think that was when Carrot Top was doing his P90X and working out 6 hrs a day like Sarah Palin's new and improved 2012 version, Paul Ayn Lyin Ryan Rand Paul.

Oh god I feel sick after seeing Carrot Top and sincerely hope the lady above was being sarcastic. E gads!

Nicely done.....
However, as all-mighty Jupiter is my witness, there isnt a chance in Hell on Zeus' green earth as long as I have a single breath left to draw while Goddess Chlamydia spins peacefully in her grave - to abuse some theologically obnubilating oaths - that I would EVER click on a link reading "Carrot Top stud photo"! It's bad enough I had to read his Wikipedia entry to get the correct spelling of his name!
Hey, off-topic, but Politico reports SarahPAC quarterly report is in. She spent in excess of %744,000!!! But endorsed only five candidates with her "four figure" donation.... $25,000 in direct donations so over $750,000 on things like "postage" and "travel."
ReplyDeleteI know Gryphen will keep on top of this, as so we all shall.
DeleteThree-quarters-of-a-million dollars, and she gave away $25,000 -- despite and contrary to her allegation that she was raising money to pass on to conservative candidates.
I hope the C4Pers finally, finally, start to give money directly to candidates, or to their own grandchildren instead. Sarah clearly doesn't need it, and, if she had it, wouldn't do with it what she promised she'd do.
Wow. A quitter and a liar. Prover facts.
Yea, she donated an entire 6% of her quarterly proceeds to actual candidates. That should make those that ponied up their hard earned dollars feel really good, right? Oh, maybe not.
DeleteWhat the hell do YOU PEOPLE expect her to do with the money from her PAC? Why should she have to spend HER MONEY on other candidates, when she has so many personal things to take care of herself? Do you know how much toilet paper that family goes through? What about fresh organic-grown fruit and vegetables so she can keep her family fit and eating healthy foods with the 3 meals a day that she prepares?
DeleteSarah is busy living her life vibrantly, and the haters now want her to spend more than 3.33% of her personal slush fund, er PAC money on its stated objectives? Damn, how is she supposed to get rich, selling books for the family?
Shit, Sarah has bought 2 of every 3 books the family has "sold". She can't afford no politickin' expenses. Shit on everybody else, that's HER money.
Stay tuned, it will be detailed on the web tomorrow.
DeleteI'm a big fan of Bruce Springsteen and I'm so glad he's doing what he's doing.
ReplyDeleteGovernor Chris Christie is also a big fan but Bruce will never endorse Christie.
rednecks for obama, what a happy looking group! i guess i have to make an eskimo for obama sign.
ReplyDeletePlease do! YaY!!
DeleteA great idea!
DeleteIf President Obama comes my way, I promise to greet him with a ¨Hapa Haole for Obama¨ banner.
Loveit. Obama's got Bruce and Clinton and Mitt has...dirty underwear draft dodger Ted Nugent, and NO former President. No more need to said.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mitt has Nugent, who crapped his underwear and never changed it for a month to avoid the draft and got out of going to Vietnam. Thank you for reminding me of that!
DeleteNugent, several months ago, was on CBS saying the men and women in the military were his brothers. Really, Ted? Those that actually put their lives on the line and volunteered to go to war are your kin???
And the interviewer didn't even ask him about his own draft-dodging days. That was also the interview where he told the camerawoman that he would f*ck her. Unbelievable.
It is unbelievable! Why isn't anyone calling these creeps out on their complete lack of patriotism while they espouse a patriotic persona. Sad, sick and stupid...
DeleteReuters/Ipsos poll: Obama retakes lead 46-45, was down 3 points a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteBrand New Nationwide Poll: Obama 47%, Romney 44%

So the bounce has fizzled? And Sullivan was whining about it again today. Go Obama! You must win on Tuesday. Shut up the morons on the right who think electing liars helps the nation.
DeleteKeep the enthusiasm coming!
ReplyDeleteOur Nation depends on it!
VOTE!
Yes, it does! Get your neighbors and fellow community Obama supporters to get out and get to the precincts where they vote. Volunteer to drive them there, to help them... It's important.
DeleteI'd like to see a million volunteers to get in the faces of those million "poll watchers" who plan to intimidate legal voters.
DeleteReuters: Obama +3, Forbes-Newsmax: Obama +3, Investors Business Daily: Obama +1, RAND 2012 Tracker: Obama +4
ReplyDeleteI love the rednecks for Obama.Nothing wrong with rednecks,honest hard working people.For some reason republicans seemed to hijack them for a while.Obama is a great president and he's turning things around.Obama/Biden 2012
ReplyDeleteDamn Right! We Rednecks Rock! So do both our President & VP!
DeleteIn 3 weeks, watch my guys kick some serious ass and take names!
Obama/Biden 2012
The smart rednecks realize that Obama/Biden policies will make their lives far better than the Romney/Ryan policies.
DeleteDon't think there are too many rednecks in that 1% that R/R love to cater to.
Awww man, tears in my eyes. I wish the big man (Clarence Clemons) had been around to see this election.
ReplyDeleteRednecks for Obama; some white trash isn’t as dumb as other white trash; there are degrees of white trash; who knew?
Not all 'rednecks" are trash in my opinion.
DeleteElizabeth 44
Yes! I wish Clarence was still with us. If you and I do, then you know that Bruce really wishes Clarence were still here.
DeleteRIP Clarence. He was the man..the big man..
RIP Clarence...
DeleteHe did get to do that gig with Lady Gaga before he left us...
Because he was the BOMB.
The only folks that call us rednecks white trash are the cowards that hold their fuckin' breath hoping they don't get their scared little ass kicked whenever they come outside their little gated community. lol
DeleteThey can call me what they feel like they can get away with behind my back, but to my face they'll address me as "Sir".
There are good folks in every demographic group, and unfortunately, there are those with their heads up their asses in every group as well. If I see or hear anyone disrespecting someone else just because they think they are better for any reason, I always ask them why, if they're so superior, are they so fucking insecure about themselves?
Be sure to vote on Nov. 6th and encourage everyone you know to do the same. If your friends and family aren't complaining about you buggin the shit out of them by election day, you're not reminding them often enough! Namaste.
I pity people who don't understand the difference between rednecks and "white trash." Try to broaden your horizons a little, Darlene, meet some people.
Delete"White trash" is a loaded term that means different things to different people.
DeleteIt's kind of shocking to hear them say it, but I've heard people who were working-class refer to themselves as white trash in a discussion about how they see others have them "pegged" in society. It wasn't necessarily how they felt about themselves, and it's not at all what I thought of them either, because I thought they are great people. They reasoned that they were sort of "disposable" in society and that if they didn't help themselves, that they weren't considered "important enough to matter" except around election time. It made sense to me, and helped me to understand their resentment towards "some politicians".
I always thought of "white trash" as more of a descriptor for someone's uncouth behavior, just as we were raised in an area where being a "nigger" referred to someone's behavior being ignorant or stupid, regardless of their skin's pigment. Granted, use of the word is restricted to almost non-use nowadays because of the ugly way that it has been adapted as strictly a derogatory racial term.
Sort of similar to the word "redneck". To some it means good ol' boy driving a pick-up with a gun rack in the back of the cab; to others it means poor & backwoods types; etc.
I'm not going to rant here other than to say just be sure to consider who you're using these words with because there are many different connotations. The same applies to racial terms, which we have all been programmed to be more sensitive about, but they are words of endearment and affection between some people.
Context is important. I'm writing this as a reminder to myself as much as for anyone else so no one needs to feel chastised. Just food for thought.
Whoo hoo! Prez O has got the BOSS and the BIG DOG on his side!
ReplyDeleteAnd Biden, the Killer Bee!
DeleteThank you, President Clinton, for your service, and thank you, Vice President Biden, for yours.
Thank you, Bruce Springstein, for your music and for supporting causes you believe in.
And thank you, Biden, Clinton and Springstein for your much-needed efforts to re-elect President Obama. I'm grateful your talents and energy are being used to support the President.
I find it interesting N.J. governor Christy loves Sprinsteen, but Springsteen refuses to even talk to him. That makes Spingsteen an even a greater artist than I thought he was before I heard this.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!
ReplyDelete2012 President - Winner (Individual)

Obama 63.4 Robme 36.3
"This was one of the most poignant moments of the President's first term. He was visited wounded warriors in the intensive care unit ICU at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan, May 1, 2012. He had just presented a Purple Heart to Sgt. Chase Haag, who had been injured by an IED just hours before. Sgt. Haag was covered with a blanket and it was difficult to see how badly he was injured. He was also seemingly unconscious so the President whispered in his ear so not to wake him. Just then, there was a rustling under the blanket and Sgt. Haag, eyes still closed, reached his hand out to shake hands with the President."

Thanks, what a heart wrenching photo, the entire photo stream is worth looking at, makes me so proud of President Obama.
DeleteEven more prouder that he doesn't exploit these precious moments for political gain. What a humble, capable, caring father, man, husband, president and friend.
Wow! How can you not be touched by that moment of humanity...
DeleteThere is a deep, genuine sense of compassion in our President that Romney wouldn't recognize, no less feel himself, if it smacked him in the head.
DeleteWelcome all comers with open arms. We still have to beat Karl Rove.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth 44
This is all wonderful but can you imagine if Bruce and Clinton headed out to Freeport Illinois?? I am sickened about this latest Bain takeover and the sheer horror these people are going thru, I want to see this plastered all over the news everyday. The fact Robme owns 51% of Sensata stock and stands to gains millions again for the outsourcing to China due to his very generous pension, well here we go.
ReplyDeleteThe federal government spent over $700,000 to retrain the US workforce being replaced while the US workforce had to train the Chinese workforce to do their jobs. Makes my head spin how this horror of a man rapes this country with that smirk even while he campaigns lying thru his teeth for our highest office.
The crowds will grow larger the closer we get to November 6th. It´s better to start out slow and build up to the crescendo.
ReplyDeleteBruce speaks to the heart of ¨Main Street America.¨ Bill is the best politician I have seen in my lifetime. Michelle, however, is President Obama´s secret weapon. FLOTUS is a guaranteed bounce in the polls.
O/T, Love how Sarah´s ghost writer was used to smack down Sarah after she hinted about running in ´16. Sarah has been commanded to remain in the shadows. Or else.
I am and was always a fan of Springsteen, what an amazing artist. I only wish Clarence Clemmons were alive to participate.
ReplyDeleteWith friends like Bill and Bruce, Barack shows he's got all of our best interests at heart, including the true rednecks
Romney will counter with Foreigner, Donny and Marie and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, led by Billy "the Idol" Graham.
and the for the encore, RMOney has acquired this R-Teest "http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2012/10/05/charming-older-man-singing-ditty-about-president-having-gay-mouth-sex/"
Deletegood for bruce. he is certainly risking alienating some of his audience by doing so (including a few of my family members)! at this point in his career, he may not care about losing some fans. says alot about his priorities.
ReplyDeleteStory of Sensata should change the momentum back to Obama! October surprise!
ReplyDeleteHot damn! I've been dreaming of the day when Springsteen would finally jump in to the middle of this election.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's always amusing to read about yet another time Bruce avoids, ignores, or snubs Chris Christie -- even going so far as to preventing him from passing through the restricted backstage arena areas at his shows. Christie keeps talking it up like it's going to happen, but Bruce won't even comment on all the pleading to join Christie in this or that for NJ
Between the Big Dog and the Boss, Obama will meep meep his way to a landslide!
I don't think I realized the Bruce Springsteen was a Democrat. This is cool. My little brother liked his music and I've not really been to exposed to it but he's famous, right, so I guess him endorsing Obama is a good thing! I liked "Jack and Diane" but that's really the only song I know from him.
ReplyDeleteJack and Diane is John Cougar Mellencamp.
DeleteYou're thinking of John Mellencamp. He sings Jack and Diane and he is also an Obama supporter.
DeleteHas anyone noticed how often the "cool" "artists" ''entertainers" NEVER want to be associated with the DUMBASS repugnants?
ReplyDeleteBwahhahhhahhhahh!!!
SCREW YOU!! Robme ANd Cryin.
We got THE BOSS and TH BIG DOG!! Whoo Hoo!! YOU LOSE!!!
Remember, Remember the sixth of November....
I'm figuring my way there right now. AND I'M IN Hawaii!
