Obama Gets The Boss’ Approval

It looks like Bruce Springsteen has pledged his public support for Barack Obama. Here’s what he had to say…

“At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships,” said the New Jersey native, in a statement posted on his Web site Wednesday. “While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man’s life and vision… Over here on E Street, we’re proud to support Obama for President.”

In February, Springsteen stated a few reasons to USA Today as to why he likes Obama:

“I always look at my work as trying to measure the distance between American promise and American reality,” he told the paper. “And I think (Obama’s) inspired a lot of people with that idea: How do you make that distance shorter?”

Let ‘em know Boss!

This, coming from a man about to release a gospel album…

Way to insult the possible first-ever African American president, you moron.

Good thing you don’t sound ignorant or anything, DMX a.k.a. Earl Simmons.

Wait, “What the fuck is a Earl Simmons?”

Go read a book.

Democratic Dream Team?

Filed under: News, Politics — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Mike D @ 6:46 pm

Could a Democratic presidential ticket be a possibility for these two front-runners?

According to CNN and their coverage of the California debate last night in Los Angeles, “The longest and loudest applause line of the night came when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer noted that many Democrats have said they’d like to see a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket in November. Neither ruled out the possibility of selecting the other as a running mate.”

The only question is, would it be an Obama/Clinton ticket or a Clinton/Obama ticket?

Watch the candidates discuss the issue…

Hulkster Endorses Obama

Filed under: News, Politics — Tags: , , , , , , , — Mike D @ 3:48 pm

Just read this little tidbit about Hulk Hogan endorsing Barack Obama for president. Hulkster was asked by Jimmy Kimmel on his show who he would like to see in the White House.

If I had to step out, and say who I really believe in — that catches my ear, that makes sense, that really can make a change — I would say Obama,” he said.

Everybody plays this card — the bad guy card, you know the dirty politics thing, talk about the way people dress, act and look — and, he’s the choice. He seems like the real deal, you know.”

WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN OBAMA RUNS WILD ON YOU! BROTHER!
