Bruce Springsteen Joins Barack And Michelle Obama At His LAST Campaign Rally

11/06/2012 1:01 PM ET | Filed under: Music Minute • Politik • Barack Obama • Michelle Obama • Bruce Springsteen

Voters are lining up outside polling stations all over the United States of America today, but last night, Barack Obama's supporters in Des Moines, Iowa stood outside in the cold to cheer him on during one final campaign rally.

Before the President and his wife, Michelle Obama, spoke in front of the audience, Bruce Springsteen played a few songs for the audience.

As a longtime supporter of the Prez, the Boss has practically become BFF's with him over the years.

Now that Hurricane Sandy has created some kind of bond between Obama and New Jersey governor Chris Christie, the musician may finally get friendly with the Republican governor of his home state too.

The two have never had the pleasure of meeting until Obama passed the phone over to Springsteen while flying aboard Air Force One. On the other end of the line was Christie, who couldn't have been happier to talk to one his idols and explained:

"In times of real difficulty, he thought the only thing better than one Jersey guy was two Jersey guys, and he put Bruce Springsteen on the phone. Bruce said to me how proud he was of his state. How proud he was and how tough we are. It was a good conversation today, and it was great to talk to the president—and even better to talk to Bruce."

So Bruce is still the better man in Christie's eyes, but we're glad the Republican and Democrat are finally playing nice.

If only every other politician could do the same, then maybe we'd have some real hope and change to look forward to.

His last campaign rally was also in an arena that was half empty.

Re: olive –

I saw those pix. Curious why people wouldn't at least show up to see Springsteen. Or even Jay-Z. Maybe ppl are tired to death of all the campaigning.

Re Netopia

I have no idea why so many celebs are on board with Obama
When you look at Harvey Weinstein, SJP,Jon Stewart.Bill Maher, etc etc
All Jews who are hated by the Muslim Brotherhood , which is a group Obama entertains in the White House, a group which Obama gave ONE BILLION $$$$ taxpayer money to
What are they thinking ??
I'M sure there were Jews in Germany who thought Hitler was cool too
up until he put them on the trains

Romney’s unimpeachable personal life ensured that there was not a trace of scandal, so much so, that even the devious Gloria Allred gave up in despair.
-
He out-hustled and out-prepared Obama, and presented the conservative case with professionalism and spirit — winning over conservatives who are voting enthusiastically for Romney rather than just against Obama.
-
Quite amazingly, Romney ends even or slightly ahead in the most reliable polls — and the reason is that no Republican candidate this year could have done a better job of offering a real alternative to the last four lost years.
-
All in all, we owe Romney a debt of gratitude for a campaign that made his supporters proud.

And now be sure to vote! — VICTOR DAVID HANSON

Thank-you Bruce for speaking out and going on the band wagon trail for the blue collar worker, me, a nurse from California who works sometimes more than 12+hours a day taking care of our sick and sometimes dying patients, and some of these patients do not have healthcare. But we still nurse them to health healthcare or not.

Kudos for nursing the sick. A truly noble effort and an angel to help.

Being a nurse, isn't this what you're supposed to be doing? Nursing sick people?
You're not the administrator that administers the paper work.

Re: luvs2hustle – Great point, a nurse getting paid to nurse! It's the liberal mind that just doesn't get it! They give you the pay check to do the job,nobody is forcing her to do it. She agreed and is being compensated with a salary. Hard job, but well paid! Nurses are amazing people!

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice Footage Shown At Comic-Con Is Spectacular! Watch HERE!

We weren't even there and we were cheering, too!

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Synder gave fans at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego a few treats, but none may have been better than the sneak footage that was shown to the audience!

We talked a little about the description of the sneak peek yesterday, but there is no way to describe the atmosphere and mood of the snippet of the film except to say that we're pumped for this movie to come out!

After stirring the crowd into a frenzy with the epic stare down between Batman and Superman, the two actors portraying those awesome comic book heroes, Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, appeared onstage, as well.

And it sure seems like no one was complaining of the choice of Ben for Batman then!

After the footage, Zack whipped the crowd into another frenzy by telling the crowd they had to take off to finish the movie, and that's when a bit of footage appeared from the new film Jupiter Ascending, as well! The Wachowskis' upcoming space movie stars Mila Kunis, and we're definitely pumped for that set-in-space epic!!!

Check it all out in the video (above) !!!
