[MssavanaRay]

Love Obama...he's the man. Love Bruce too....

[antunkatona]

God I love Springsteen's music. The way Obama honored hi was really great.

[mtnstpt]

Who wrote this POS speech..

[mtnstpt]

This guy is so full of syte, He knows Nothing of Bruce,Obama KNOWS SYTE ABOUT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.....

[googlymoogly64]

@mtnstpt STFU Springsteen supports Obama if even you're too retarded to figure this shit out. Shut your goddam mouth when better, smarter, more accomplished people are talking in front of your worthless ass.

[pakitovillanueva]

bruce springsteen legend of bigmacs

[udaymehta1963]

Obama certainly is a connoisseur of music & fine art,well unlike his predecessors such an unassuming,refined & classy President.His remark on Bruce"I'M THE PRESIDENT, BUT HE'S THE BOSS'! is outstanding.All the five Honorees of Kennedy Center[Bruce Springsteen,Robert De Niro,Mel Brooks,Grace Bumbry & Dave Brubeck deseve the greatest honor and are THE LIVING LEGENDS,PRIDE OF AMERICA.

[pattyrockinalways]

de niro and the boss in the same room? how did the white house not implode of awesomeness????

[andrewjacksonbr]

I wonder how often Obama haters or *amen* people who don't hate but disagree with Obama, click on videos featuring him only to post negative, critical, or plain hateful comments...........

[MexiRican1964]

@andrewjacksonbr they're obsessed

[brakedemoff007]

I THINK IM OBAMA

[shawnraw]

It's interesting how nobody is giving props to Grace Bumbry, but I will. Great job Grace you are a fantastic opera singer and the black community needs more like you.

[ALTERED13TH]

I thought Bruce the blowhard was in a wheel chair because he is so old. He never could sing anyway and he's a super wealthy liberal hypocrite like Boner, I mean Bono.

[KleWdSide]

Obama does seem to be a cool guy, but he's utterly useless as a President. Unfortunately...

[k3304]

Bruce & Barry====thank you for a great economy

[1BlackAngle1]

I dislike People who dislike this video.

[the57thstreetband]

"Bruce Springsteen is still one cool rocking daddy"!!

along with "I'm the President, but he's the Boss!" are my favorite quotes here! - the 57th Street Band -

Bruce Springsteen Tribute Band

[jeffhallful]

[vincent663]

No comments needed... Obama has it all!... Humor, intelligence and respect!...And he's down to earth!

[Suburbncomando32]

"im the president but hes the boss" AWESOME!!!

[ziongo24]

[ziongo24]

no grey her  ( time )

[ShavaShav]

I hope Bob Dylan at least got nominated...

[dancetotheradio19]

@ShavaShav dylan already got his in 97

[ChrisDutch]

@ShavaShav Dylan was recognized a few years ago. Billy Joel should be next.

[greenboymed]

"The reason i'm running for president is because i can't be bruce springsteen" . Obama

[Massap2]

The US is lucky to have obama:) He is really just him self and not all packed up like bush or any other.

I like Obama :)

[Frasloth]

@kiiifute1

why don't you do the world a favor and kill yourself

[headly66]

@Frasloth Go fuck yourself you fat desperate loser, by the way I sent your ID to the SS.

[jersey2983]

what class!!!!

[kiiifute1]

Have not one of these "Honorees" , read the United States Constitution...in particular ARTICLE II SEC1 CL5

What an embarrassment.

ART II NATURAL BORN CITIZEN ENJOINS A SOLE ALLEGIANCE AT BIRTH

THE INDIVIDUAL , IN THIS CLIP, BESTOWING THE HONORS-WAS BORN OF A VISITOR TO THIS NATION HE WAS BORN A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED KINGDOM & COLONIES

[NLglennNL]

im the president but hes the boss :P hehe

[jakdedert]

Wellll...Altered. Are you and Moonbat the only 'down' votes, vs the 108 Thumbs Up for this vid? Obviously you are of no importance. You make a lot of noise trying to convince....who? Yourself? You obviously haven't convinced anyone else. Perhaps trying to get some of the attention that the 42,000 viewers here gave to the president, to somehow make your insignificant life meaningful? Try achieving 1/42,000th of the accomplishments of either of these great Americans. Then get back to us.

[rockyracune]

There are suckers born every minute. "Born in the USA" should be used as a call to resist the criminal shit of the Obama regime. I can't wait for the next election so we can restore conservatives into places of influence. One trillion dollars spent on a stupid stimulus and we get 10 percent unemployment! What bullshit. Now we can see that Obama can really walk on water - as long as he stays on top of the floating tar balls in the Gulf. Imposter and LIAR!

[ALTERED13TH]

Bruce Springsteen sucks. He's a liberal asshole, his voice blows, he's a phony, rich liberal hypocrite, and his music is that of a simpleton. Obama probably never even listens to Springsteen's crappy music and his stupid line written by some White House nit wit about he's the boss and I'm the President sucked. Look at Obama reading his asswipe lines off the teleprompter.

[ExtremeAvalanche]

@ALTERED13TH Is it possible for Obama haters to give constructive criticism without sounding butthurt and batty? Springsteen is a legend, every fan of rock music knows that.

[ALTERED13TH]

@ExtremeAvalanche Yes, how's this? Bruce Springsteen is a butt wipe, batty, blowhard moron who can't sing, whose music sucks, who is pretentious and phony and who pretends to be some common man but is rather just another rich, phony, putz. Other than that he's a genius.

[ExtremeAvalanche]

@ALTERED13TH His music sucks? I doubt you've even listened. You don't hate Springsteen, you're upset because he's receiving an honor from President Obama. It must suck living in a cave, hating everything.

[ALTERED13TH]

@ExtremeAvalanche I have listened to his phony rebel music and listened to his phony I am a working guy nonsense rather than a spoiled, rich, celebrity. He's a bore as is his phony, simplistic music designed to appeal to people who fool themselves by thinking they too are rebel, working class, oppressed people. Yawn.

[rockyracune]

@ALTERED13TH You are right. Bruce is a huge phony. I can't stand his torn-jeans bullshit.

[ALTERED13TH]

@rockyracune He portrays himself like some kind of working class man when in reality he is a multi millionaire, celebrity. I could care less that he makes his millions but he is a total phony who lives a life that no working class man could ever dream to live. Besides his music is all pretty much the same boring three chord shit. His voice sucks and he is musically unimaginative.

[zoleebaa]

hey bro. 3 hours intense energetic shows, touring around the globe at 60. is that really the celebrity lifestyle you envy? do you still think he is in for the money? your are lost and pathetic.

[ALTERED13TH]

@zoleebaa not bad for a butt wipe, phony old geezer with no voice who writes three chord simple music. I guess that's what passed for talent among children who grew up in boring, suburbs in the middle of nowhere where they call Olive Garden a good Italian restaurant.

[ExtremeAvalanche]

@ALTERED13TH That's quite the odd opinion. Those country artists that repubs love so aren't exactly poor either. Even though I'd rather listen to metal, Bruce is a great musician and I know that. There can't be this many people who hate him, I'm guessing you are judging him based off his support for Obama, and that is just weak-minded.

[ALTERED13TH]

@ExtremeAvalanche I don't listen to the silly country artists either who cultivate their phony images. Bruce Springsteen' s music is also boring. His voice sucks, his lyrics are trite, phony and largely unimaginative. He sells an image to suckers who think he is some profound, rebel working class guy with musical talent. He's largely a bore.

[ExtremeAvalanche]

@ALTERED13TH Well I won't argue, music can be anything to anyone. I don't think Bruce is the greatest artist ever or anything, but some of his lyrics and songs are quite good, and I just can't help you wouldn't feel the same animosity if he wasn't a liberal. But just because he is doesn't mean he can't relate to the common man of middle america, whom I suppose are people that are stereotypically conservative. Even though popular doesn't necessarily mean good, I can definitely respect his talent.

[ALTERED13TH]

@ExtremeAvalanche I just think he's a phony, largely talentless musician who cultivates a phony image designed to sell his crappy music. I can't stand Ted Nugent's music either and I like it even less because he's political. He's a conservative, which is what I am, but his music still sucks. John Cougar Mellonhead is another phony, talentless punk who cultivates his phony image.

[wrightherewrightnow9]

@ALTERED13TH There's a whole world of music out there, more songs than you could ever listen to in a lifetime. We Springsteen fans love his music because it thrills and inspires us, because it helps us to dream or simply because it gives us a chance to put our fist in the air. Shouldn't you go and seek out some music that could help you feel that way, instead of wasting your time on an artist you hate? Life is short, fill it with the good stuff and screw the rest.

[KleWdSide]

@ALTERED13TH You're a fuck-tard. Maybe you should just stick to listening to Michael Buble & Jack Johnson. They're befitting of your level of intelligence...

[slutbunwallah]

@KleWdSide I'll disagree with you on Michael Buble. He is a good singer. But apart from that....FUCK YOU ALTERED13TH!!

[KleWdSide]

@slutbunwallah I don't think Buble's voice is anything to write home about. He's a supposed crooner who has been compared to Sinatra & Harry Connick Jr..... and those two make his voice sound like shit.

[moonmatter]

I feel solded out by Bruce.... I "supported" him and I supported Obama too.

For the first time in my life I feel sold out by Bruce- and it really hurts me.

I had a great time with Bruce's music 20 years of my life, I did anything to get to his concerts(got in debt) now I have to remove him from my life-That pisses me off-because he inpsired me to play guitar. I am in tears about this "gig" he did.

[neverequalled]

@moonmatter what happened??

[jensenbell]

We are grateful for such creative geniuses - unique to America - and after watching this... I say again... let's enjoy this president too! Someday all of this will be a distant memory, let's appreciate it all while we're here to see it. Now, Springteen tickets (frowns at bank account after paying bills).

[kezzer2]

Im 50,Christian,loving...a bit cynical of the world...I love De Niro..always have...never liked Springsteen,saw his gig at Glasto....never rated him...but he turned my opinion/attitude...were all people on this earth...he brought the house down...God bless him...still learning! Great post...thankyou.

[springsteen1337]

the presidet and the bos for the win!

[mrboulais]

"Bruce Spingsteen is still one cool rockin daddy.

Obama is crackin me up.

[maespip]

Finaly the US has again a President to be proud of ! (and one with brains)

[TheReturnofLurker15]

watch obama will get assistant in 2011 2

LOL

[Dona1as]

Check out Zeitgeist everything is just a ride.

[1988wonderwoman]

bruce ROCKS! obama is the man

what else do you guys need??

the prez and the boss

all in one!

[tomterrifico]

It sure is nice to have a president with some class.

[ChrisDutch]

@tomterrifico and he can say nuclear correctly as well.

[Deano647]

@tomterrifico

Amen

[RealTime88]

@tomterrifico I was so thrilled last year to see Bruce Springsteen become a Kennedy Center Honoree!!! I am a rock fan myself so his music makes me dance and moves my heart. Everyone does deserve respect and we need to come together as a country. WE ARE ONE!!!!!

[RadarGuidedVermin]

@tomterrifico Class counts for little when the idiot has no clue what he's doing.

[justingarman]

"Im the president, But HES the BOSS" one of the best quotes ever!

[udaymehta1963]

@justingarman Indeed Very Well said by the President-- Bruce is the greatest icon who symbolises spirit & aspirations of U.S. past & present generations

[littlestar3103]

@justingarman agreed - BEST QUOTE EVER!!!!!!!! - such an articulate president with awesome taste in music, what more do you need?..............

[squanto2]

Such an impressive American President.

God Save Him from the PNAC people.

[rylestheryter]

FUCK we have a cool president. Bruce has been with me since the womb and to see him honored at this level is very moving to me.

[ManvsMachine7]

LOL me 2, my father listend to Bruce while I was in the womb xD and even before that

[roqueandrolle]

@ManvsMachine7

Haha, same - the sound of my childhood was Live '75-'85 (Disc 2) xDD

I had no idea who he was as a kid, but he's been my favourite singer, no joke, forever :)

[BRUCEIsMyHERO1]

Well, I don't dig politics yet, that was a very heart-felt speech and Bruce really deserved the honor and love.

Thank you once again Bruce! You're My HERO!

[LBjim]

BRUCE is the man!! God Bless him!!

[rpeggio]

Geez....he uses that teleprompter for everything doesn't he? Weird.

[sunsistah73]

@rpeggio Do you remember how the last president spoke in public?

[rpeggio]

Bush was a bonehead. I'd simply like to see our Prez speak without a script more often. Then you know he's speaking his words and from the heart....that's all. Enough with the Bush stuff, he's gone, he was not intelligent and couldn't speak well...I dont care about Bush.

[sunsistah73]

We have to take people the way they come. I choose his intelligence and trust his heart is in the right place... regardless if he writes the words down first and then reads them. Each prez has his strengths and weaknesses. If his major fault is that he reads to me for the next 8 years... I'll live with that. If he handles... I don't know... say five of the million problems that face our nation at this time.

[pliscopolipo]

Bruce is only rock and roll ... but i like it !!!

[angelflyn2low]

I've been trying to explain it for 30 years. Barrock says what I've been trying to say for 30 years. I love you Bruce and I mean that with my whole heart!

[90265SE14]

Bruuuuuuuuce is da man! Yes, you (Barry) are the President and Bruce is the Boss, but you two are GREAT Men!!!

[OelfredBiernot]

BROOOOOCE!

[heartinGuate]

This is just brilliant!

[amareto35]

Robert De Niro is like, what the fuck am I doing here....

[mywaymn]

Gotta love The Bosses!

[zeroblindterry1]

Best president of all time.

Bruce the best artist of all time.

Love em both!

BRUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

[andreasimoncini]

Great Obama

[katelynmonster]

I love it when Obama makes jokes.
