Boricua in the house..born there but now in Chicago
Thank you Willie Colon. Puerto Rico vote for Hillary. Even if Obama becomes the nominee I will not vote for him. Obama thinks puerto ricans are stupid enough to vote for him. He deals with too many unsavory characters “oh, but wait no one is suppose to question the messiah.”

Can anyone please tell me if puerto rico wants to become a state? If not why?

Thank you in advance.

no thanks, but looking forward to his sales tanking and his appearances being cancelled for lack of interest.

Obama is not the “presumptive nominee.” This is a race and it’s not over. In fact, it’s neck and neck. No-one asks a racer to stop running if they’re a nose behind at the half-way point, or even in the home stretch.

Well, unless the people asking are pro-Obama pundits, DNC officials who can’t fix the huge problem they created by arbitrarily disenfranchising Florida and Michigan, or party players who are too afraid to let Clinton (and American voters) have a real contest.

Let’s let our Democracy work, it’s what many of us want and believe should happen. Hillary Clinton “gets” that fine point. Just like she “gets” the people of this nation and what it means to fight hard with integrity for the country and the values you hold dear.

Mr. Obama doesn’t have 2025. He has not crossed any finish line. So please, don’t presume a thing until the race is run.

You know… once I learned that Elvis Costello played Hillary’s birthday party and sang “Happy Birthday Mrs. President”, I realized that it wouldn’t matter a bit to me what other performers endorsed her. Bruce was all about John Kerry last time — he has an odd sense of what his working class fans would support.

Hmmm… that vinyl question. Put it out with the recycling.

OT
It appears that our friend Barry had 4.2 million reasons why he might be an elitist last year.

Why can’t he invite his grandmother living in a hut out in the bush to live in his guest house?

To Bruce Springsteen and David Lewis
This is your brain on Kool Aid.

I will NEVER EVER EVER VOTE FOR OBAMA. NEVER EVER NEVER EVER.
And I’m one of thousands. In fact, I will do everything I can to help him lose.

Oh, yeah, it was Tupac, today, right?

“Tupac,” the smart rapper.

Btw “Dave,” this is the weakest internet counterattack I’ve seen yet.

If I thought Obama had little power before, I see today he and his “generals” have even less.

You’re f’ing clueless, but a nice lateral move within that tiny circle you can’t seem to break.

IMO, Hillary losing in the polls was supposed to be the talking point, today, for Obama’s “troops” to attack Clitnon supporters.

(snicker)

Bunch of clueless kids, and you guys are old, aren’t you?

I would say Bruce is uninformed.

Very sad.
