Kennedy Center Honors - Obama On Bruce Springsteen - 2009

[@Crocheter1979]

"I'm the President, but he's the Boss" always gets me every tine lol

[@sandrabecht613]

Bruce is a man of the people. If you have 300 Dollar and a vaxx card u should go and see him life

[@nbe1951]

The Boss speaks what so many of us feel but cannot put into words.

[@antunkatona]

God I love Springsteen's music. The way Obama honored hi was really great.

[@jackburns1972]

Love the music of the Boss, listen everyday. But forgot what what it was like to have a president who had class.

[@Suburbncomando32]

"im the president but hes the boss" AWESOME!!!

[@kezzer2]

Im 50,Christian,loving...a bit cynical of the world...I love De Niro..always have...never liked Springsteen,saw his gig at Glasto....never rated him...but he turned my opinion/attitude...were all people on this earth...he brought the house down...God bless him...still learning! Great post...thankyou.

[@blackbird5634]

Here's greatness and honor and dignity showing respect for the kind. Here's the power and pride and the joy of the finest we can be holding itself up to the light. This is what America is all about.

[@huskychick101]

obama's sentiment of "I'm the President, but he's the Boss" will ring true for every successive president for as long as bruce is alive.

[@deweypug]

The love, respect and intelligence that man exhibited is unparalleled…

[@springsteendisciple3543]

Brubeck, DeNiro, and Springsteen, quite the Graduating Class if you ask me.

[@sandrakopp4247]

God bless them both 🌹

[@maxkelber]

As a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, this was the most touching. As a White guy seeing America's first ever Black president honoring one of the most important White performers in rock history is truly amazing. God bless his lasting legacy, and New Jersey's greatest export to the rest of America!

[@edwardmorvitz2172]

this is what the Trumpites cannot deal with. A Black man who is so dignified and eloquent and understands the real American dream.

[@RealTime88]

@tomterrifico I was so thrilled last year to see Bruce Springsteen become a Kennedy Center Honoree!!! I am a rock fan myself so his music makes me dance and moves my heart. Everyone does deserve respect and we need to come together as a country. WE ARE ONE!!!!!

[@bonniejackson1321]

Deeply respect both these men.

[@chammiequeen7838]

Wasn't it wonderful to have the arts shared with America through the Obamas?

[@hannejeppesen1809]

I don't trust people who don't like art and animals.

[@chammiequeen7838]

@@hannejeppesen1809 me either…I have been blessed with wonderful pets. I’ve always appreciated the sentiment that when we die, all of the pets we’ve ever loved come up to greet us. Mine will run, fly, hop, chameleon balance, and swim. Who will greet Trump?

[@the57thstreetband]

"Bruce Springsteen is still one cool rocking daddy"!! along with "I'm the President, but he's the Boss!" are my favorite quotes here! - the 57th Street Band - Bruce Springsteen Tribute Band

[@sistaM1963]

Oh my god I miss this man!!!

[@larrylar1000]

Whether you like Obama or not that was really nice and it seemed from the heart and Bruce Sprinsteen deserves the honor. Look at the other nominees, all tops in there fields and Bruce was honored along with them. Bruce never had anything given or handed to him, used to play at Stone Pony for 35 bucks a night divided among his band mates. And I heard his recent tour of Europe he did 4 HOUR shows. That is a person who is truly grateful for his fans. He is The Boss.

[@pattyrockinalways]

de niro and the boss in the same room? how did the white house not implode of awesomeness????

[@pdoylemi]

Wait! Wasn't he supposed to talk about how great HE was? How can a President simply honor greatness without making it about himself? I think I forgot that a few years ago.

[@danielevans472]

That two bit self absorbed used car salesman named Donald Trump isn’t even fit to shine the shoes of a humble man of integrity and decency like President Obama.

[@niloh96]

"I'm the President, but he's the Boss" xD always gets me!

[@lucasdavis1964]

Ya know, I like Obama. I don't care what people say.

[@johnfrankfurt4898]

He has blood on his hands for endorsing the war monger.

[@valoredramack9117]

@@johnfrankfurt4898 All Americans have blood on their hands.

[@danielevans472]

Anyone who doesn’t have the intuition to see what a humble man of decency and integrity President Obama is is just another ignorant fool brainwashed by right wing propaganda.

[@jensenbell]

We are grateful for such creative geniuses - unique to America - and after watching this... I say again... let's enjoy this president too! Someday all of this will be a distant memory, let's appreciate it all while we're here to see it. Now, Springteen tickets (frowns at bank account after paying bills).

[@FrauPresley]

The Boss and the President......best ever

[@judetalbot2704]

Two people I could not unlove. The President 0 and the Boss.

[@bonniejackson1321]

Wonderful group of honorees.

[@HarrisonHollers]

Name two cooler gentlemen in the world ever...

[@marioguidotomasone1265]

Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. Just saying...

[@dwelitz]

Sadly I missed him on his visit to sweden now. He filled Friend's Arena 3 times! That's a big ass arena... Look it up! ;)

[@squanto2]

Such an impressive American President. God Save Him from the PNAC people.

[@edwu8253]

This is awesome👍

[@meone5112]

He just love this... ;) I might be the president, but he is the boss ! 😂😂😂. Obama what a great fan you are, thank you ❤

[@AhmedErr]

"The reason i'm running for president is because i can't be bruce springsteen" . Obama

[@pdoylemi]

Looking at the comments I must say one thing - it took a lot to elect a black President in this country, and it is great to see how many recognize his quality (not perfection by any means) and miss him - as do I.

[@susanschumm8508]

I love this clip! ❤

[@CharliePutz]

Anyone who posts 3 hate filled comments on a video of a speech delivered by someone he doesn't like about someone he doesn't like needs professional help.

[@canfor5]

Ya gotta LOVE this intro!

[@edwardrichards9245]

Awesome words

[@josecarlos1068]

Cada vez que recuerdo a Obama introducir este golpe de humor genial, creo que hay lideres políticos capaces de hacer reír a personas en lugar de alejarlas. “I’m the president, but he is The Boss” en ese instante hizo reír al mundo entero, y volver a poner de manifiesto quién tiene talla y quien es un mediocre para ocupar una atalaya. Gigante Obama

[@deedeforest3792]

I love this.

[@chrisjones5321]

How they looking now?

[@k3304]

Bruce & Barry====thank you for a great economy

[@arpie100]

you can't buy class...you have to have it in your genes

[@bimonsolivar8898]

When you hear him speak you must come to the conclusion that a guy like him HAD to become the president! :)

[@rylestheryter]

FUCK we have a cool president. Bruce has been with me since the womb and to see him honored at this level is very moving to me.

[@tds168]

i'm the president but he's the boss ! only amazing !

[@lesleyvanzyl4333]

2 great men

[@maespip]

Finaly the US has again a President to be proud of ! (and one with brains)

[@sunsistah73]

We have to take people the way they come. I choose his intelligence and trust his heart is in the right place... regardless if he writes the words down first and then reads them. Each prez has his strengths and weaknesses. If his major fault is that he reads to me for the next 8 years... I'll live with that. If he handles... I don't know... say five of the million problems that face our nation at this time.

[@davidcupps991]

Despite all, Bruce provides continued hope in an American Dream.

[@vincent663]

No comments needed... Obama has it all!... Humor, intelligence and respect!...And he's down to earth!

[@neverequalled]

@moonmatter what happened??

[@JackF99]

Must suck to be Right Wing when 99% of the artistic talent in the world disagrees with your outlook.

[@MrMoon-cg2yy]

[@ChrisDutch]

@tomterrifico and he can say nuclear correctly as well.

[@Hister333]

Don't leave out Obama...

[@Kruezoraxe]

Now I'm not Obama's biggest fan, but presidential scholars think that he's doing an alright job Google "Historical rankings of Presidents of the United States" for polls conducted with presidential scholars on the best/worst presidents. Obama ranks higher than John Adams, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and John Quincy Adams, among quite a few others.

[@ChrisDutch]

@ShavaShav Dylan was recognized a few years ago. Billy Joel should be next.

[@alop133]

Obama dropping some DeNiro in there with "a lil bit" at 1:16

[@ShavaShav]

I hope Bob Dylan at least got nominated...

[@crazytrain81]

I love how anything with Obama's face on it spawns stupid hate politics. It's not even about the president, it's about the boss! Get over your political egos and listen to the music!

[@jakdedert]

Wellll...Altered. Are you and Moonbat the only 'down' votes, vs the 108 Thumbs Up for this vid? Obviously you are of no importance. You make a lot of noise trying to convince....who? Yourself? You obviously haven't convinced anyone else. Perhaps trying to get some of the attention that the 42,000 viewers here gave to the president, to somehow make your insignificant life meaningful? Try achieving 1/42,000th of the accomplishments of either of these great Americans. Then get back to us.

Bush was a bonehead. I'd simply like to see our Prez speak without a script more often. Then you know he's speaking his words and from the heart....that's all. Enough with the Bush stuff, he's gone, he was not intelligent and couldn't speak well...I dont care about Bush.

[@JoeyLevenson]

Oh the comment is waaay too early :)

[@ALTERED13TH]

@ExtremeAvalanche I don't listen to the silly country artists either who cultivate their phony images. Bruce Springsteen' s music is also boring. His voice sucks, his lyrics are trite, phony and largely unimaginative. He sells an image to suckers who think he is some profound, rebel working class guy with musical talent. He's largely a bore.

[@alanwayte432]

Lol jealousy running wild...must feel great working at KFC
