We fought terrorism in Iraq. Please describe the Iraqi military uniform for me. I'll wait.......Can't do it? Let me help. It's sweat pants, shorts, t shirts, etc. We aren't fighting an army or military Nor terrorists. We are killing PEOPLE!!! Get out now. Just sayin'
I was never a huge fan of his music - it was OK, but this clip makes me. He got it exactly right. Hopefully Obama will listen to it and get back on course (you can't be all things to all people). God bless America.
Huh???? You think every person has a "RIGHT" to a job? How is that a right? He is a fool! I have never seen that in any founding document of this country. Every person who is qualified "OUGHT" to have a job. But there is no RIGHT to a job, not ANY guarantee.
guys im a brit an proud of it appart from our mps lol bruce is a great bloke one of my heros an im 40 somthing the man talks a lot of sence should av run for it lol ace tune !!!
I'm not a supporter of O'Bama, and I'm also not in favor of laying the blame totally on the Bush administration, however that speech was right fucking on.
This is one of the coolest/best political/moral/ethical speeches I've ever heard. I only hope that the faith the Boss has in our new found president can be realized. And if not, I hope that the person he described can come out of the wood work.

Bruce sang about freedom and individual rights.Now hes supporting Obama..???? first economic freedom is going to go...then individual rights are gone too..
Tonight our Prime Minster is with Obama, hope he tells Brown to give our country back (England), send him home with a flea in his ear. This country like the US was built on labour, not fat cat bankers...
Obama will spend more in 15 months than Bush did in 8 years, with 2 wars 9\11 and the tech bubble bursting. Your partisan perspective is blinding you from reality. The government said that the pace of economic decline was actually 6.2% this quarter, making it the worst quarter since 1982. This is just the start of Obama ripping all the Capitolist wallpaper off the walls and spackling Socialist dung on them. A disconnect between the White House and the grim realities of everyday American life.
This ani't cocksucking my Friend! You should listen and understand this great message. Bruce has the courage to do so! And he does it for you too my Friend! Peace Brother ! (Mikeit528)
Bruce should speak up like every citizin has the right to speak and vote. Now to all you negative speakers about Bruce's speech.....it is prove again that there are still so many dumm and stupid ignorant people in the USA i just can't believe!
He has the right to speak up.. But it's just annoying how he's willing to suck Obama's cock and basicly say that Obama is Jesus.. That's all I'm trying to say.
Does anyone here recall the Dolly Pardon, &c. condemnation of the Bush FCC's whitespace spectrum reallocation? Springsteen is a shill for his industry; his endorsment of Obama will reflect what the media companies hope to get from the NEW FCC--no whitespace broadband. All the techies who think that the Obama presidency will lead to whitespace broadband will get a very rude surprise, when Obama follows his media-industrial masters' wishes on this issue.
The media-telecom companies would be really hurt by the Bush FCC's whitespace decision (though consumers would benefit), since they wouldn't be able to use that 'new' spectrum for broadcasting. Artists like Springsteen and Kal Penn work for the recording & film/TV companies--part of the media-telecom sector. They funded BO with HUGE donations.
'The Boss' seems like a decent guy, though, to his fans. He's actually had the balls to take TicketMaster[bater] to task, for their blatant crookedness.

Shut up the fuck up Bruce Springstein.. No one pays to hear your political bullshit. I hope that Obama does well, but you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
Hi Mike. Well first, I think a lot of people would pay to hear Bruce speak even if he left his guitar home. I would. But we both know popularity proves nothing--Limbaugh has a pretty big audience too, and I think I heard ABBA sold more records than the Beatles. But while 'shut up' is a common enough response to words you disagree with, unless you fancy yourself 'working in the shadows,' come on up and speak your mind. I'll leave alone the goofy idea that musicians shouldn't be 'political'...
That would leave us with only ABBA lyrcs, wouldn't it? But what I want to know is what you disagree with in this speech. I'm not gonna tell you to shut up--you get to speak. So does Bruce. The First Amendment is like the social contract Bruce talks about here--it only means as much as we're willing to make it mean. So I hope your 'shut up' doesn't speak for your idea of the social contract. Now, Mike, what do you disagree with here? Don't heckle like a child, stand up like a citizen and speak.
mike ..everyone has the right to have an opinion...by the way u dont pay nothing here...you simple click somewhere ... of course bruce s completely right...
You obviously don't know shit about Bruce SPRINGSTEEN because you can't even spell his name right.. bruce knows much more than you.. he lived through the vietnam days.. most of his friends were drafted and taken away.. Luckily, he failed the physical test or exam.. whatever test they gave him, he failed it... anyway, He sings of the working class-- always has.. So please, before you make remarks like that, think about it first.
Bruce, maybe you should have run for president. I really wish I could believe your words. But Obama is just a stooge. He is a puppet for the same agenda Bush was used for. There has been NO change. The only difference between Bush and Obama is that Obama rehearses his speeches a bit better and the colour of their skins. Enjoy your pocket "CHANGE", suckers.
Really... Do you really believe one man--Obama-- could clean up the mess this country is in? I certainly don't.. I don't believe anyone could clean it up.. just like the great depression, it will only be a matter of time when things go back to normal.-- It won't be because of Obama
Who's to blame for the biggest financial catastrophe of our time? There are plenty of culprits, but one candidate for lead perp is former Sen. Phil Gramm. 8 yrs ago Gramm pulled a sly legislative maneuver that greased the way to the multibillion-dollar subprime meltdown. Now an executive at a Swiss bank, Gramm cochairs Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign He's been mentioned as a possible Treasury secretary should McCain win.
Senator John McCains campaign manager was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as president of an advocacy group set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations.
irace4paul: You think the economic crash is a "mistake"? No! It is one more fuck up by a man that is a walking fuck up! Ignored the warning of 8/06 & sat on his ass on 9/11. Ate birthday cake w/McCain while NOLA drowned! Ignored the mortgage crisis til 9/08!
democrat have run the congress for the last eight year. they were in charge of the overaight committee for fanne mae. USA please educate your self. Bruce is already making exuse for Obamma. I am ot the biggest Bush fan sure he made mistake
The democratic party took control of the Congress in Jan 2007 (after winning in Nov '06) It is you that needs an education. Deregulation of the banking industry was pushed by former Senator Phil Graham of Texas. A republican! His wife, Wendy, helped write legislation to help Enron. Then left Congress to work for ENRON! He is a lobbyist for UBS & would of been named Sec of Treasury if McCain won! You showed your ignorance. Now go back to school and get an education!
You are distinctly mistaken if you believe you have the answers to all this.
30 years ago a dear friend had to drag me to see your concert in Washington D.C. I was amazed. Now things have changed. She is gone and, many other things have changed as well. I liked you better when you just sang your incredible songs. Let's see what happens. After all, in the end, a politican is a politican.
But Bruce always sang for the working class. 30 years ago.. -- you must have gone to a darkness on the edge of town show-- darkness is a song for the working class. "Some folks are born into a good life.. other folks get it any way any how"
Badlands- "Poor man wana be rich, rich man wanna be king, but the king ain't satisfied till he rules everything."-GREED
-- Born in the USA was 100% political.. soo he's been political for a while.
-- I have a 1978 show from passaic.. i wish i was there...
I never understood this-- My relatives were visiting america from italy during the voting period.. They were so happy that Obama won.. Now, why would foreign citizens be happy that Obama won?
a rare prayer! thanks. remember the great depression farm security administration. brucie is the balladeer and boss of the necessary music security administration. keep going... take it all the way. to the studio?
We fought terrorism in Iraq. Please describe the Iraqi military uniform for me. I'll wait.......Can't do it? Let me help. It's sweat pants, shorts, t shirts, etc. We aren't fighting an army or military Nor terrorists. We are killing PEOPLE!!! Get out now. Just sayin'
