Bruce Springsteen Lectures the Little People: Leave Obama Alone!

[Geee]

Big Hollywood:

Hearing the same Left, who either participated in or never said a word to protest George W. Bush being called a war criminal and worse, now upset over the ”extreme language” being thrown Obama’s way is absolutely laughable — but nowhere near as laughable as a “blue collar” rock and roller publicly standing up for The Establishment:

“There’s a widespread political consciousness that’s perhaps deeper in Europe than it is in the States,” he told the Sunday Times magazine.
“The climate [in America] is very, very ugly for getting things done. The moderate reforms President Obama fought to make are called Marxist, socialist.

“I mean, the most extreme language is put into play to describe the most modest reforms that would move the economy back towards serving a majority of its citizens.”

The musician, often referred to as “The Boss”, added: “You have a guy [Mr Obama] who comes in, he gets to be president for four years. Maybe eight.

"Moderate reforms", lol. Maybe so, to a draft-dodging overrated communist like Springsteen. Isn't he the loon that pretended he was gay so he didn't have to go to VietNam?

 

All BS ever did when Bush was president was to whine, now Brucie doesn't like it when the shoe is on the other left foot? Too bad. "Born in the CPUSA" he was.

While I used to like Bruce's music (I'm over it now), I could never understand why Born in the USA was considered a "patriotic" song. No one listens to lyrics apparently. It's like saying that Queen's Fat Bottom Girls is a love song for crying out loud.

I'll be more than happy to leave Obama alone, as soon as he starts leaving me alone.

 

I can't spek for others but when I have a political question the first thing I think is, I wonder what a major rock and roll musician thinks.

It goes without say 2nd on the list is movie/TV actors and actresses.

I still like much of his music.

 

I know it's only Rock & Roll....but I like it.
