Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen: Renegades
July 24, 2022
Driving a 1960 Corvette at the home of singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen was, said former President Barack Obama, “one of the highlights of my time on this farm … getting behind the wheel of this mean machine!”
[…]
The friendship between the two men started in 2008: “Bruce Springsteen decided to charitably help out some not-very-well-known new U.S. senator who had the audacity to run for president,” Mr. Obama said. Over time, that friendship deepened, a friendship Mr. Obama once characterized like so: “I am the President. He is the Boss.”
And in 2020, they sat down together for a couple of days at Springsteen’s New Jersey farm to talk about their lives, and our world. Those conversations became a podcast, and then a book: “Renegades: Born in the USA”.

“My frat-bro and I saw you from across the bar, and we love your vibe. How would you like to get in the trunk of our car and we take you to a second location?”
We’re here to
and chew bubblegum. And we’re all out of bubblegum.
Slugs. All of you are slugs. Your laws can’t control us. We’re really fucking smart. Our politics have ended history. You slugs are just squirming around, lookin’ for something to happen.
Me and my friend are here to drone strike your ass
God, Dad could drive a car.Born in the USA!

“Yeah we have utterly illusional romanticized vision of America’s past and promise. We are grown men who believe in the fables America tells her children, what’s it to you pal?”

Edit: dammit someone already did this one
My nipples are so erect
Seriously what’s going on with Obama here
looks like his shirt was being a little too clingy so he did the ol’ pinch and pull but his shirt is so starched the pinch marks are stuck in the fabric.

“renegades” as in “renegades against the Geneva convention”
