Us Weekly Mobile - Celebrity News - Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z to Perform at Final Campaign Rallies for President Barack Obama

November 2, 2012

President Barack Obama** is pulling out all the stops for his final day of campaigning before voters head to the polls on Nov. 6.

With Election Day less than a week away, the Commander-in-Chief, 51, has called on two of his biggest and most famous supporters -- rock legend Bruce Springsteen and hip hop mogul Jay-Z** -- to help wrap up his campaign in style. Both will join the President at his final rallies on Monday, Nov. 5.

The star-studded push will kick off in Madison, Wis., where Springsteen, 63, will perform and introduce the POTUS. The two will then head to Columbus, Ohio, where they will be joined onstage by the "Empire State of Mind" rapper, 44, a longtime pal. (Both Jay-Z and his wife, Beyonce Knowles, have stumped for Obama in the past. They even held a $40,000-per-head fundraiser for the campaign in September.)

The final stop on Obama's trail will be Des Moines, Iowa, the state that launched his first successful run for President in 2008. There, he will hold his final rally, with a third performance by Springsteen and a special appearance by First Lady Michelle Obama.

Republican nominee Mitt Romney will have his own major star power on his last day of campaigning. The former governor of Massachusetts will be joined Monday by the Marshall Tucker Band in Ohio and by musician Kid Rock** in Manchester, N.H.

Yeah it is tied, but whoever become president, this will be my last time voting. I will be moving away from this crazy country maybe in 2yrs hopefully and it is, what it is. God, will put whoever that he want in office. I'm just glad to be alive and well. I just don't get how one man can clean a country up in 4yrs.

It is awash! Note how many times Obama's policies followed in Bush's ruts dug **** in the economy-- and how many times Romney agreed with Obama during the foreign policy debate? They're beards for who really controls power-- both D's and R's, perform their duties as the rubber stamp Congress-- go, figure!

Like I've said,I voted for Mr.Obama before.I most definitely have no hate towards the man.I have the utmost respect for any man who holds that office.But my allegiance to my country is stronger than my allegiance to any political party.Above all, I want what's best for America.I would never be so prideful that I couldn't admit I was wrong before and change my mind on my vote. Honestly,my intentions in posting those facts was not to try and change anyone's mind really but just to let people know that Mr.Obama, just like every other politician has faults and has made mistakes. I just hope everyone on here who believes in God prays for the state of our country regardless of who they chose to vote for.

It all comes down to who is motivated to vote this election? Those voters for Obama or ppl who want change? Once this election's over we can focus on the holiday season, and ponder the end of the Mayan calendar...

Sorry for the double post.Damn pop ups! O also need to correct on my post.The debt will climb 4 BILLION not million.

I've done as much research as possible on all these topics and I looked up as much information as I could on how much money president Obama has actually spent,since the question was asked.Id like to first say that these numbers come from a reliable source,The congressional buget commitee website.Our national debt exceeds 16 trillion dollars. George Bush accumulated a debt of 4 trillion dollars while in office....In President Obama's 4 years he has accumulated 6 trillion. In the next 4 years regardless of who wins this election the debt will climb another 4 million dollars due to Obamacare alone unless Romney wins and tries to repeal.Which by the way That process will even cost 100 million dollars to process. Also,I was wondering where the rest of the money was coming from to fund Obamacare,outside the obamacare fee or tax,whichever you prefer,so I researched that as well.This new health policy was scheduled to take effect in the beginning of 2012 but then was pushed back to 2013 and I wondered why...Obamacare will cut 716 billion dollars from Medicare which will force them to drop 50 percent of enrollees.From 14.8 million elderly Americans to 7.4 million to be exact.I would like to add that The department of health and human services are being investigated for spending 8.4 million dollars without congressional approval to postpone this Medicare cutback until 2013 or until after the election.
