Bruce Springsteen performs at an outdoor campaign rally Nov. 2, 2008, for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama at the Cleveland Mall, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Bruce Springsteen will hit the campaign trail on President Barack Obama's behalf.
The musician will join former President Bill Clinton at a free rally in Parma, Ohio, on Thursday, two days after the second presidential debate. Obama will not attend the rally. Springsteen will also do a separate event Thursday.
Campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement reported by The Washington Post that Springsteen echoes the values the president is fighting for. He added that Springsteen's appearances will help get out the vote efforts in Ohio, a swing state whose 18 electoral college votes are considered crucial.
Springsteen campaigned for Obama in 2008, but this is his first political appearance of the 2012 cycle.
The president uses Springsteen’s song, “We Take Care of Our Own,” in his 2012 campaign song playlist at rallies, the Post reported.
Clinton has become an increasingly prominent surrogate for Obama, campaigning for the president in several battleground states.
Clinton and Springsteen's joint appearance in Ohio underscores the importance of the key swing state. Polls show Obama with a slight lead there over Mitt Romney, but the Republican presidential candidate is spending an increasing amount of time and resources in the state ahead of Election Day.

For all the so called "Artists" who continue to think we are still back in the Vietnam anti-war world, if you like Socialism so much then just move to Cuba, China, or other Socialist country.
Cuba, China, socialist? Are you stoned?
Ask Oprah what going "all in" for Obama did for her career.
R.I.P. "Boss"!
The GOP narrative Democrats hate rich people...
The Democrats welcome all from the very poor to the very rich, all races creeds..
The fox news low information voters this plays well, all Democrats are on welfare etc...
Just go down south you will find republicans that have been on welfare for generations, guess what they are white, doesn't fit into the GOP narrative does it?
Kind of like Ann Coulter a republican star "our blacks are better than their blacks" The only quote I have ever agreed with by Ann " If we don't run someone like Christy, and run Romney instead we will lose"
O&JOE
Hey Hummer, not republicans on the public forums, begging for handouts.
The T.E.A. Party ought to adopt "Uprising" by Muse as it's Theme SonG!
Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR, transmissions will resume
They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless, red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on
Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that, we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the, fat cats had a heart attack
They know that, their time's coming to an end
We have to, unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on
Here's the youtube link..... enjoy!

I'm always amazed how the Libs project their own bad behavior on the T.E.A. Party who have factually proven to be innocent of all their charges.
ROMNEY/RYAN 2012..... Believe in AMERICA!
S Smith, my,you lefty get really nasty with the people that think you should work for a living don't you?
Bruce, Bill and Biden: Now there's blue collar, working Democratic America.
Obama, Adlai Stevenson and Eugene McCarthy: Now there's intellectual, thinking Democratic America.
Spielberg, Striesand and Hoffman: Now there's glitzy, star-power Democratic America.
Buffet, Soros and Amy Goldman (you can look her up): Now there's the money behind Democratic America
They have Eastwood, we have Nicholson.
They have Toby Keith, we have Tim McGraw.
They have Chuck Norris, we have Hulk Hogan.
Let's see 'em try to "Dixie Chick" The Boss !!
Who were the "Dixie Chicks"?
Green, where did you get that list of losers?
ssmithlg, Who said the Dixie Chicks were anybody? I was simply making up a verb similiar to the fine art of stoning women.
Woody, from "Who's Who In America", why?
Whose on your list? (I mean besides Sarah)
As usualy, Bruce is on a loosing team.
As usual, a right-wing, partisan-hack - in this case, Rick - reveals himself to be barely literate.
And as usual we have another lefty doing the Grammar police thing, with no credentials.
My you have to feel a little sorry for them, that's all they have .
Sorry, pal - I'm no lefty either.
Incidentally, one's grammar is telling of so much more; moreover, I'd say you're another one who apparently slept through English class.
Dem. need protection for the Romney/Ryan supporters have worn T-shirt with this logo: "... The white ...back to White House" and the bullet has sent to Obama campaign office in Denver.
Pray that President Obama wins the re-election 2012 ASAP.
Billie, do you suffer from a disorder called “Passover Syndrome?” Almost exclusively, it afflicts relatively affluent Caucasians and is characterized by an array of cognitive delusions that ultimately may prove dangerous for its sufferers and those around them.
Passover Syndrome’s most prominent behavioral feature consists of whites projecting historical blame onto other whites and hoping that nonwhites will see them as not-so-white for doing so. Just as the ancient Israelites smeared sacrificial lamb’s blood over their doorways in order to escape the Angel of God’s vengeance, these delusional Caucasians smear bright red anti-racist graffiti—or, in extreme cases, the literal blood of “rednecks” and any “right-wing white” who refuses to get with the program—over their doorways in the hope that when the Dark Angels finally come en masse seeking “justice,” they won’t accidentally notice that the people with the bright red anti-racist paint over their doorways also happen to be white.
Who is Bruce Springstain?
obama is a poison pill....the pill that keeps on dosing.....and springsteen?.....if you libs are stupid enough to listen to his hypocritical views, you are definitely stupid enough to support the asswipe obama......at least bruce was BORN IN THE USA........no one knows where obama was born still.........
Actually, everybody knows where he was born, and it has been proven.
"So you think that money is the root of all evil? ... Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or the looters who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil? ... Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into bread you need to survive tomorrow. ... Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values ... Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked: 'Account Overdrawn
Sounds like a speech made by Francisco d'Anconia, a character in "Atlas Shrugged".
I guess Bruce did not write that.....
Apparently government did...
Look out America!! Obama is falling behind in the polls so it's time to unleash the "Big Guns". Time to call on the backbone of the mindless American culture, Hollywood. Time to get the people back into that wonderful frenzy and mindless gaze of 2008. Yeah, it's time to get em drunk/stoned and hopefully drive them to aimlessly dance the night away. Music will sooth the savage beast and awaken the downtrodden. Throw away your worries of becoming poorer, losing your house, forget about your unemployment benefits running out, we have Springsteen! Arise Democrats, arise America to the call of the acoustical guitar and feel GOOD about yourself. Until Nov. 6th!!!
I have never bought a Springsteen recording, but now I will also turn of any station I hear playing his songs...
Romney to recruit Snoop Dog to campaign for him in Kalifornia.
What a great name for a book, "The Day California Turned Red" Election 2012.
hey all you phony libs!!!...isn't springsteen a ONE PERCENTER????.....isn't he one of those millionaires and billionaires that obama demonizes??....you libs are so delusional that it would be hilarious if you didn't have the right to vote...
Mebbe Mitt can get the guy who wrote the Davy Crockett theme to stump for him
Hey Bruce, how's that song "Born In Kenya" coming along?
Doesn't matter handouter, we would vote for a dead snake to get the inept lying quasi socialist out of the white house.
" If you don't want tax dollars helping the sick and the poor, then its time to stop saying you want a government based on Christian values. "
John Fugelsang
Doug,
This is Mitt's theme song for this election (sorry for spamming this link but I find it funny as all Hell):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxch-yi14BE&feature=plcp Will the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand up (Eminem ft.)
Hey Bruce why don't you try making a real record like you used to do 25 years ago or is politics easier?
Or is it easier being a moron studying to be a Idiot?,play your music keep out of politics regular people with their opinions do not get a pulpit like a Rockstar like you THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Duke
poor Chris Christie. there can no longer be any doubt that he will not be this year's prom date for The Boss. sorta like getting the worst Dear-John letter, no?
Actually, I think it's called, tying him to the cow ticks, so long Bruce. You couldn't stand prosperity, could you?
Funny Clinton's continued support is mentioned in this ad. After Hillary has been scapegoated for Obama's criminal incompetence for the Benghazi disaster, Clinton's continued support for Obama would only be proof that his status as a whore has been confirmed, and price is the only thing being negotiated.
And as for Springsteen, didn't he also perform his tired act for both Kerry and Gore?
Proof that musician support means nothing.
OMG!!!!!!!!! A celebrity supports Obama, I'm going to have to change my vote!!!!!!!!!!! I feel pity for any idiot in this country that would vote because some moron celebrity tells them to, especially a poor man's Bob Dylan.
bill clinton is obviously a whore in addition to being an accused rapist and a convicted pervert.....
Welll, yeah.
You say whore like its a bad thing. Same thing as pervert and when you get him convicted of rape then you can say it. Me I liked Bill, he was the only president since Eisenhower to offer a balanced budget to congress and as a matter of fact set off the biggest boom in my lifetime. BUSH, should be arrested for stealing, he took money to run us down into the hole.
Well shoot, I hate that, I always liked Bruce.
Just dumped 25 years worth of his songs in the garbage.
It will make it easier to move the business to Central America if the country loses it's collective mind and reelects Obama.
These limousoine liberal, celebrity hypocrites should take Laura Ingram's advice and just "shut up and sing!"
anyone ever heard springsteen being interviewed?....he is dense, thick as a brick.......and his music was good twenty years ago....but i will say this....he seems more intelligent than obama or biden.....i guess that ain't saying much..
Jeez a rock is smarter that Bite me and what's his name.
