Former President BARACK OBAMA and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN are hosting a new podcast for SPOTIFY. "RENEGADES: BORN IN THE USA," produced by BARACK and MICHELLE OBAMA's HIGHER GROUND production company, debuted with two episodes posted exclusively on SPOTIFY TODAY (2/22). The show will post eight episodes in total.

SPOTIFY describes the show as "a series of conversations... about their lives, music, and enduring love of AMERICA -- despite all its challenges." The first two episodes cover the hosts' friendship and growing up as outsiders, and their experiences with racism.

Bruce was born in the USA but was picked on because he was white?

First you destroy what they believe in, then you change the definition and tell them it's what they really believed in the entire time.

Screw them. Who died and made Bruce Springsteen some American symbol? All he's done most of his career is bitch about it.

I can only speak for myself, but I loathe over produced "celebrity" podcasts. Podcasts became cool because anyone could do it. It's the same reason why youtubers got big. Now the elites are trying to take over these platforms that were built and it's really annoying.

It's like people have never actually read the lyrics to Born in the USA. I remember being 14 and hearing Reagan use it as rallies during his re-election campaign and catching hell for using it and thinking, "Wait...why are you even using that?!?"


quote:

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "Son, don't you understand"

I had a brother at Khe Sanh fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone

He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.


People think it's some rousing American anthem because all they hear is the chorus...

Well Bruce grew up in the Northeast, on the Jersey Shore, which is notorious for being racist. He’s probably talking about himself being a racist. Boston, Jersey Shore, in a racist-off, who wins?

Really? First off the whole Born In The USA thing is ironic for Barack and for Michelle/Michael her title should be called Born In The USA But Not Proud Of That Fact Until 2008.

Renegades


For those in the know, this is Obama flagrantly throwing his anti-American bullshite in our face. Obama can flout his old SS name all he wants, but he was never some sort of romanticized version of a renegade. That anti-American, race-baiting community agitator was groomed since college to rise up the ranks and destroy everything that's good and decent about this country.

Hey, "Renegade." Go frick yourself, you two-bit fraud.
