Jeezy on Politics

Young Jeezy is still on his political campaign to get everyone to vote. The Snowman is leaning heavily toward the Democratic side, especially since Republican presidential nominee John McCain chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.

“I like Joe [Biden] a little bit better than Sarah,” Jeezy said recently. “I understand she’s the soccer mom and all that, and that’s good. But if something happens to McCain, then what? Do you want a soccer mom to run the country? That’s cool. I mean, she can run the house, though. I like Joe, though. Definitely. You got to be tough. I mean, I’m definitely not saying anything against what women do, but at the same time, Joe’s firm, Barack [Obama]’s firm. They’re straight to the point. They don’t beat around the bush. Both parties can do the job, but if I had my pick, I’m definitely going with Joe and Barack.”

In related news, Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of primetime television on CBS and NBC to air at 8pm on Oct. 29, less than a week before the general election and one night before the start of November sweeps. The price tag is said to be in the “tens of millions of dollars.”

Springsteen wraps Obama Tour up on Eastern Michigan University

Gary Graff, Ypsilanti, Mich.

Bruce Springsteen concluded his three-day barnstorming tour in support of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama today (Oct. 6) with an eight-song, 50-minute acoustic set at Oestrike Stadium on the campus of Eastern Michigan University.

"Hello Michigan. Hello Ypsilanti -- glad to be here. I don't know how to spell it though," Springsteen told the crowd, which university officials estimated at 5,000, before kicking into "The Promised Land."

The set also included "The Ghost of Tom Joad," "Thunder Road, "Devils & Dust," "Used Car" -- which drew cheers for its reference to nearby Michigan Avenue ("You can't go wrong singing a song that has the name of the state in it," Springsteen said) -- "No Surrender," "The Rising" and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land."

Early in the show, Springsteen noted, "I was on the campaign trail four years ago. This time we're winning." And before "The Rising," he made a long speech similar to those he delivered Saturday in Philadelphia and yesterday in Columbus, Ohio (the text is posted on his official Web site).

He said he believed Obama's Republican rival, Senator John McCain, would begin launching "an attack on Senator Obama's character that will make the Swift Boaters look fair and balanced ... they will fail." Springsteen finished the show leading the crowd in a rhythmic chant of Obama's campaign slogan, "Yes we can."

Springsteen isn't finished with his Obama activism efforts. On Oct. 16, he will join Billy Joel and John Legend for a fund-raiser on behalf of the candidate at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.

Obama has a running mate

Reaction to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's selection of Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as his running mate.

"In naming my colleague and friend Sen. Joe Biden to be the vice presidential nominee, Sen. Obama has continued in the best traditions for the vice presidency by selecting an exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant. Sen. Biden will be a purposeful and dynamic vice president who will help Sen. Obama both win the presidency and govern this great country." — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

"There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama's lack of experience than Joe Biden. Biden has denounced Barack Obama's poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing — that Barack Obama is not ready to be president." — Ben Porritt, spokesman for the John McCain campaign.
