Well, at least he's from the States!

i always liked Bruce, a true American who knows about america, great endorsement and yea he should do a few shows for Obama across the small towns in PA to help mend any ill thoughts from the so called "Bitter-gate" blown way out of proporiton by the media, right wing and Hillary. Although i do believe small town American's are very smart and will know how to read thru the lines concerning this controversy. They will realize that Obama is truly the fighter here when it comes to fighting for the workers, one area folks cannot say he doesn't have experienced. Come on PA! Let's end this nightmare, it is not fun anymore. The other side has resorted to all out lying and distorition of words.

Bruce has always stood up against injustice.A great ambassador for the poor and working class.This is a very BIG endorsement to many ppl.Just like the Vietnam era Springsteen,Lennon,Dylan and many more musicians, helped change an era and turned that page in history.

Are Jews the reincarnation of modern day KKK?

The powerful rightwing Jewish Lobby including [AIPAC] American Israel Public Affairs Committee is vexed, frustrated and displeased with Barack Obama's refusal to accept special interest money. The concern is that the Senator's policy prevents them from exerting influence or extracting favor from his administration should he become the next President. Senator Obama has offered his assurance to Jews that he is not a foe- yet this does not seem to allay their resistance to his candidacy.

Hillary Clinton's campaign saw an opening to exploit the Jewish community's apprehension and began stoking the anti-Obama fire behind the scenes. In collaboration with the Clintons, they [the Jewish Lobby] dispatched a number of "candidacy assassinators" including former Clinton special counsel, Lanny Davis, Florida congress woman, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, California congress man, Brad Sherman, CNN news anchor, Wolfe Blitzer, Senator Joseph Lieberman and others to torpedo Obama's nomination bid. The above mentioned Jews continue to fan the flame of hateful passions against the Illinois Senator using demagoguery and pushing the Reverend Wright issue so that it remains in the foreground. The strategy is to convince the voters and the Democratic Super Delegates that Obama would be unelectable in November due to his optics and simultaneously promote Hillary as the only friend of Israel. It is also reported that Democratic Jews are being counseled to vote for John McCain- should Senator Clinton not get the nomination.

Take a look at the YouTube video where Rachel Maddow from Air America recently discussed the topic on her show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdYzGzvXO0U

Civil Rights and black organizations have dubbed the Jewish Lobby's anti Obama campaign, "mean spirited" but so far have opted to remain tentative. Elected Democrats have also taken note and are increasingly becoming frustrated with Senator Clinton's controversial tactics. They are appalled with her alliance to hawkish groups including John McCain to annihilate a democratic colleague and worry that it provides damaging ammunition to the republicans that could derail Obama's candidacy should he become the nominee. Some Democrats are even calling the conduct treacherous and privately accuse her of deliberately trying to sabotage the Democratic Party because of the unlikely odds of her fairly winning the nomination. The question is- who is willing to bell the Cat? Thus far, a healthy concern for political reprisal has prevented any of the party leaders from offering any public criticism. The Jewish Lobby for decades has effectively manipulated the holocaust to keep politicians beholden to their agenda. Those who oppose are usually labeled anti-Israel or Bigots in order to gain their compliance. In this instance, however, they run the risk of having the tables turned against them if blacks are able to expose hypocrisy in what many view to be a Jewish lynching of Senator Obama.

Springsteen's music speaks to people in Fulton County, Scranton, Womelsdorf, Stroudsburg, Perryopolis, Kutztown and all of the other small townships across the state which have failed to see much, if any, economic progress over the past 20 years. For these people the bitterness comments are simply that much noise and I am hopeful that an endorsement from The Boss will go a long way to help Obama's cause. Bruce is and has always been a shot and a beer type of guy. Hillary has a lot of nerve calling Obama elitist when she has Elton John, of the brie and chardonnay set, as her famous musician spokesperson.

Guess Obama was born to run, too. Go, man, go,

Look at that face (Springsteen's). He would make a great Joker for the next Batman movie. Hillary could play Catwoman, too.

Born in the USA, baby.

For all of HRC's efforts, her nasty tactics do not seem to be helping her, they only help her opponent. As for Springsteen, I always loved the "bitter understanding" in his music. Obama is lucky to have him on his side!

Letter Mr. Springsteen,
I saw you're a concert of yours some years ago and bought a few of your albums, but I didn't know I was paying for your political view to raise you from white trash too rich white trash liberal elitists. I like a refund please! The other side is quite a big consumer bloc and I think it time we organized that bloc into boycotting egregious outspoken liberals from the entertainment and media field including artists and their products and the advertisers where applicable, we're looking for entertainment NOT your opinion!!!
For example, you would quite naturally assume that toilet paper companies consider Democrats to be a very important consumer bloc, as large user for their products (man Michael Moore they probably run an extra shift), especially when you consider the additionally spewing from their mouths that is typically of liberal Democrats. However, credit to them with staying objective thus far, there hasn't been any promoting of Obama or Clinton on the sheets yet! Thank you toilet paper companies!

so theaz, this isn't America any more, and you feel that just because someone is an entertainer, they have no right to a political opinion? And should not express it if they have one? I'm willing to listen to ANYTHING you conservatives want to argue about, except this particular issue. I'm sorry for you that many entertainers who have a lot of fans also seem to have views that you disagree with. Too bad.

I don't buy Toby Keith records, so don't buy Springsteen records...that's your solution.

THE BOSS HASN'T PICKED A WINNER SINCE JIMMY CARTER. THIS IS TRULY THE KISS OF DEATH FOR OBAMA'S RUN.

bruce should take whinning, angry elton over his knee, spank him and send him back across the pond. prediction, bruce joins barack for an impromtou concert.

He isn't called the BOSS for nothing. Springsteen is emblematic of the working man getting stiffed by the entire political process, and the oligopolistic nature of our "democracy." So this, to me, is a big endorsement.

The Boss ain't no liberal elitist. Between he and Bob Casey, maybe Obama can get down with the blue collar folks.

Now if only Bob Seger would endorse...

"Now mainstreet's white-washed windows
And vacant stores --
Some reason folks don't wanna
come 'round here no more.
They're closin' down the textile mill
Down by the railroad tracks.
Foreman said these jobs are goin', boys
And they ain't comin' back.
My Hometown. My Hometown
This is my hometown."

I think it's a new blog, but seems worth reading.

I think this may be the best thing to happen to the Obama campaign in a while, at least with PA coming up on Tuesday.

Did Mr. Springsteen endorsed sen. John Kerry in the last election four years ago ? John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam war hero, lost narrowly to G.W. Bush mainly because of the two key states, FL and OH , which Sen. Obama is surely to lose in November even if he becomes the nominee. Unlike Gore, Kerry lose to Bush in popularity votes, which means he was not as good as Bush in winning small-town America

Oh, yes! Bruce Springsteen can sing America out of this recession...and all the rest of our very serious problems...Yippie!

Wonderful and not surprising news, as their sensibilities are very similar. Please Bruce, how about some benefit concerts? We miss you in Madison WI., but have and will follow you almost anyplace.

Well now it's apparent that Sir Hillary can no longer use Bruce eeeeeee music at her functions so maybe she should try using the Rolling Stones as her backup music.A good song might be "It's all over now" Bye Bye Hillary it was nice knowing you.
