voteinorout#BruceSpringsteen delivered a lament about the cultural emptiness he sees in the current White House, saying “there’s no art in this White House. There’s no literature, no poetry, no music.” He noted the absence of pets, pointing out “no loyal man’s best friend… no Socks, the family cat,” and no public images of joy or humanity from the president and first family. Instead, he argued, the president only changes “his blue suit, red tie uniform” for “his white shirt and khaki pants uniform” when he hides to play golf. Springsteen contrasted this with past presidents, recalling “Obama’s on the beach in Hawaii moments,” “Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport,” “Reagan’s on horseback,” and “Kennedys playing touch football on the cape.” His message was that these glimpses of humanity once united the country through shared joy and cultural expression.He argued that the country “used to be” one that embraced collective fun and charity, citing the ice bucket challenge that “raised millions for charity,” and leaders who brought comfort in hard times. He criticized the shift from “a first lady who planted a garden” to one who “ripped one out,” saying America is now “rudderless and joyless.” For Springsteen, the absence of these traditions has drained the “shared experience of humanity” that made the nation strong. He concluded that “we have lost our mojo, our fun, our happiness… we are lost,” warning that the cultural erosion has happened “in so short a time” and has stripped away both the challenges and the triumphs Americans once celebrated together.#BruceSpringsteen #WhiteHouse #NoArt #NoPets #Obama #Bush #Reagan #Kennedy #IceBucketChallenge #FirstLady #Joyless #SharedHumanity #AmericaLost—Thank you Bruce Springsteen op: @estreetnation repost @corybookerHelp this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas JeffersonView all 3,081 comments
