Today in Parma, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland the man Obama nicknamed the “Explainer-in-Chief and who we refer to as "The Big Dog" took to the stage and announced to the crowd:
"I was born in the U.S.A. and unlike one of the candidates, I keep all my money here.”
The former president, Bill Clinton reminded the crowd of Romney's opposition to the auto bailout which has been crucial to Ohio's economic recovery.
"This is not complicated for me,” he said. “If somebody saved my economy, I’d be for him.”
Soon after making all his excellent points, Clinton introduced:
"one of the coolest dudes I have ever met and a guy who reflects our real "American Values", the incomparable Bruce Springsteen."
Springsteen teased that if Clinton had only brought his saxaphone then there would have been a "real" jam up there.

Springsteen has been hailed as a torchbearer of the working class, and a voice of the people.
“I’m here today because I’m concerned about women’s rights. I don’t have to tell you about the dangers to Roe v Wade,” Springsteen said during the performance. Romney has stated he would appoint Supreme Court judges that would overturn the landmark ruling on abortion, and the Romney/Ryan official position is to oppose abortion except in the cases of rape, incest, and danger to the life of the mother.
Springsteen formally endorsed President Obama earlier today on his website.
Following the event, Springsteen is moving on to Iowa and Clinton will continue on to Steubenville, Ohio.
