Working Class Hero Bruce Springsteen Endorses Barack Obama
Photo Source
Today rockstar and working class hero Bruce Springsteen endorsed Senator Barack Obama as his candidate of choice for the Democratic presidential nomination.
In a letter posted on his web site today, the musician known by his fans as "Brrruuuuuucce" endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president, siding with the first-term senator as "head and shoulders above the rest" -- (more...)
In the face of all the frenzy,distortion and media "beat-down"that Senator Obama has been experiencing lately,this undoubtedly was a welcome turn of events in the Obama camp. The pundits and some media experts are downplaying the impact such an endorsement can have. I believe it wise not to underestimate the rock star brand,especially with a musician whose music is ingrained into the fabric of small town America.It will be interesting to see how this develops.
Thumbs Up to Bruce.
Peace,
Cynthia
