Springsteen Plays Virginia for Obama

Musical artist Bruce Springsteen played a free show for a near capacity crowd at Telos Wireless Pavilion on Monday to campaign in Virginia on behalf of President Barack Obama.

Springsteen played for nearly 40 minutes, and while on stage, showed his support for the president by stating, “I am here today because I am thankful for universal healthcare, and I am thankful for a more regulated Wall Street. I’m thankful that General Motors is still building cars.”

Democratic Senate hopeful Timothy M. Kaine also spoke to the crowd about the importance of Virginia as a swing state in the Presidential Election, and also urged the voters to “keep this country moving forward.”
