[moosmunk123]

hey i as here loololl

[estherhadas]

Thank you, Brian, for this very special video!

We need to keep holding onto this message of hope - 2 years into this administration - this video is a great reminder of that.

[kell4809]

remember to VOTE Dem in Nov. Ty Bruce!

[firefoxf0x]

obama is a dick

[21CenBreakdown]

Oh yeah and Bush was great right?

[daleahill]

Should shot? You illiterate dickwad. Someone "should shot" you, you piece of shit douchebag.

[dollarlolly]

Bruce Springsteen should be president? no?!

[somecleverword]

"brainwashed, emotional, and without the Facts" ... and you aren't? Fuck me for being inspired, and for once not fearing our President.

[labarriera1]

Burster1..you're such an idiot! I'm from Italy: Obama changed the way the world looks at the USA. For what concern healthcare..you don't have idea of what you're talkin' about man! All the civilized nations have a program of public healing except America: and that's a huge shame.

[furmountain21]

Obama is simply another lying politician...nothing more. I used to love Bruce Springsteen, but dragging his politics into his music has ruined it. I respect his opinions, but he's confused about the reality in this country. The Republicans and Democrats are equally to blame for the state of the US. Obama hates America and what it stands for. His mentor (Reverend Wright) hates America. His wife hates America. Remember my friend, movie stats and wealthy musicians don't live in the real world.

[mackan1079]

@furmountain21 why the hell would he hate america? hi is the best thing that ever has happend to america!

[WatchingViking]

I smell dinner. Man it smells good. Spaghetti or something.

Check out my favourites, there is a VH1 storytellers version which is absolutely amazing.

[Husnau]

Just heard him sing this song at the Inaugeral Concert in DC, and it was really amazing.

[vsibirsky]

Yeah I just saw and heard the Boss sing this song at the Concert on the Mall but truly..THIS moved me even more.. his words as well as the song. What a blessing that we can now say President Obama!

[MoultonDrums]

this reminds me so much of Dylan's solo acoustic performances at Rallies in the 60's

[Jazzman5456]

AMEN!!!! I love the way our country is headed. Bruce is such a poet love em....and same to Obama

[furmountain21]

@Jazzman5456 Our country is headed down the tubes...idiot.

Read Thomas Sowell.

[furmountain21]

@Jazzman5456 Do you know who Thomas Sowell is?

[Callie78]

my two favorite people in one video!

[rrajasleiman]

MUY BUENO BRUCE

[cheferabelo]

The media tried to put George Clooney as 'The Obama Boy', you know Clooney is a great actor and a nice political activist, but come on, definitely, Bruce was the Obama's boy! He did his own kick ass campaign and prove why we call him The Boss! GObama! You have to be proud, America!

[ATXviIIIe]

Bruce rocked Minnesota at the Democracy for America concert in 2004....with help from Neil Young, REM, John Fogerty. I felt like I was at the rock and roll hall of fame...Bruce played forever and go see him if you get a chance.

The USA is not perfect but we can do so much better. go Obama, Biden and Bruuuuce

[Rising727]

Bruce's making America a better place. I hope his songs will be an inspiration to President-elect Obama and wish him good luck at changing America back to the great nation it used to be. Love you Bruce. Love you America!

Born to rock!

[Baltimora1957]

Yes We Can - Yes We Did!!

[esptv]

Nov 4, 2008. Tonight we got our country back.

[ajayd23]

I saw Bruce in Cleveland on Sunday and his comments were inspired. He believes our country's potential just like Barack does.

I was proud when I cast my vote for Barack Obama this morning. Change is coming!

[BrianGriffin1]

I'll keep the hope alive that the ones who have posted the hateful, negative and uninformed comments will one day be able to see the bigger picture and not let close-minded views shape their world. Positive change is in the air, we are all in this together. As Lou Reed sang "It's the beginning of a great adventure"

Let love and peace rule,

GO VOTE!!!

GO OBAMA!!!

Brian

[meccaturbo]

@BrianGriffin1 Look where that change has got us....more in debt with a stagnating economy. Dude, you're an idiot.

[chefguy1968]

sad sad sad to see such ignorance still festers in people like it does in you. God Bless You and take good care through your journies.

lorenzo lucchetta

p.s i'am proud to show my real name, no need for anonymity when you believe so strongly in goodness.

[iainb31]

Look at those sad comments by those inbred white racists, why don't you "good 'ole white boys" go watch some nazi movies and at the same time keep on sleeping with your sister, mother, father and any other member of your family that you take a shine to. Come on up for the rising!!!

[mancheat]

Bruce for 2016!!!

[pjworker]

Possessing the ability to organize and bring people together of all races and socio-economic backgrounds together for a good cause is necessary to be an effective leader. He has proven himself to be an intelligent man of integrity, wisdom, and great leadership. I look forward to Obama's Presidency.

[pjworker]

Very inspirational clip! I will certainly be voting for Senator Obama tomorrow. I have watched both he and Senator McCain's demeanor throughout this election. I have concluded that Senator Obama embodies everything a President should be and has carried himself throughout this campaign with such grace and class despite the numerous personal attacks and crazy lies put out about him from the McCain/Palin camp.

[sethop]

Truly sad to see the knives coming out against Springsteen in the comments. GOP is pretty much the party of hatred and fear right now. Fortunately Obama doesn't discriminate, and we're throwing more liferafts at the GOP Titanic every hour. Suggest anyone who wants to escape just climbs on board.

[synchamar]

Another celebrity/"star"/ clown ass trying to tell us what is good for us. Go eat a TV dinner like the rest of us Bruce. We don't need your help.

[mollyjollen]

Bruce!

I knew you had it in you!

Thank god the past eight years are over!

And to all you small, ignorant idiots who vote for people that are the definition of evil because you want some cheap oil, right to carry firearms and a modern day crusade - at the cost of health care, decent living conditions, civil liberties and the environment:

I pity you all.

[ogersteiner]

Scott S: I have lived in Columbus, OH (cont) I have always been a proud American and I will always be a proud American but I have never felt pride as HUMAN BEING like I did today. I have never felt closer to my fellow brothers and sisters after this experience. I want to continue to feel that way for the next 8 years. Please vote OBAMA/BIDEN for all our sakes. THANK YOU.

[TelecontarElessar]

I'm pretty sure that's my big clump of blond hair blocking your view.

Sorry about that.

[BrianGriffin1]

No Problem, It's all good!!!

and it's gonna get better!!!

[brokeandold]

great job on this video Brian....2 more weeks my friend to EXHALE ! GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY!

[BrianGriffin1]

Thanks guys for all the POSITIVE comments. It was hard to keep the camera still, I was so excited! Bruce has been a huge influence on how I view the world. I have seen him 12 times over the last 25 years, this was the closest I've ever been! This was dream come true stuff. Now if I can only get the chance to meet him! Bruce is a true patriot, and he sees how Barack can bring our country to position of respect again in the world. God bless them. Peace to you all even to you McCainites!

Brian

[roxhana2]

yes. Peace to the mc cainites!. :-) I m from Malaysia and i do pray that Obama will win. The world is behind Obama.

[furmountain21]

@BrianGriffin1 Are you a facist, communist or just plain ignorant?

[KishoTenshi]

Haha I think I saw you recording this, don't mind me just someone who was to the right of you.

I think he was fabulous and I adored his "speech" that he gave! Yay for free concerts!

[90265SE14]

You tell 'em, Bruce. Thank you for supporting PRESIDENT Obama.

[Cincheetah]

Jealous republicans are really quite pathetic.

Maybe McCain can get you ABBA for his rally.

OBAMA '08!

[jayr7580]

do you even know what Born In The USA is about?

[chagy05]

I was right behind this guy. This was an awesome event. Vote for OBAMA if your smart.

[riidinghard]

Bruce is a washed up has been who doesn't have a clue

[supretaco]

OK he has sold out every one of his concerts for the last 20 years Go back to MCCain

[12knicks12]

whether you think hes a person who hasnt a clue...he isnt washed up you moron.. his last 2 albums were awesome u dumb shit

[riidinghard]

He sings like a person taking a shit.

[12knicks12]

good one man

[italianbreadman]

Yeah. I agree. Senator McCain is soo much more with the times. Young and alert, healthy and capable.

...silly, silly people

[coltssboy]

speaking of washed up, how old is john mccain

[riidinghard]

Senator McCain isn't on stage trying to pretend he is 23.

[jeffs666]

Bruce never pretends to be 23. He sings like a grownup-- like the great citizen that he is.

[vipert93]

Bruce was better in his 20's and 30's singing about cars and girls

[Ghosty1967]

Ein kleines Licht am Horizont...für eine bessere Welt

[simogoogoo]

I hope for you, America, for Obama....

[PaulHartXYZ]

WOW.

Ohio is ours!!!!

[ILoveLucyE68NY]

[mybrucespringsteen]

[puertorro67]

Bruce you are the best!! God bless you man BORN IN THE USA!!!

[ZeroBlindTerry]

[PeterPenguin77]

Awesome... what a moving performance! Springstein is brilliant all by himself... just alone with his guitar & harmonica.

A truly great American!

[blueny2]

With just a guitar and a song Bruce is doing the heavy lifting for this great country; please heed his song, his cry out for something better, for that precious scared dream in our hearts and hope in our souls that is this American Dream. Join our brave troubadour who is singing our song of redemption. America has a change to correct what has gone wrong and we can't miss this opportunity because this great land is the world's last hope. Let's help America heal and join Bruce and Barack in 2008

[DebbieDoesDaleks]
