They are both so kind, intelligent, and soothing. I could listen to them talk all day.

OMG! I so miss people who speak with humility, intelligence, compassion, empathy and hope. I wish more American's would listen to these.

Two Brothers building a House! Together. It's okay to be different, as we are also alike. Love these gentlemen.

What a wonderful interview with two persons who are sane. It is extremely rare these days. Cheers to their friendship!

What Bruce said. This country has to recognize not only it’s blessings but also it’s faults to survive.
Great interview. Love the friendship between these two great men.

A president who can coherently put words together…those were the days.

Two of my favorite people together, along with a great journalist, AND an early 60s Corvette. My week is off to a fabulous start!!

When I was 17, I used to work at the beach. One of my job duties was to get up early every morning and clean the pools before parents brought their kids to swim. When I sounded the horn and turned on the free jukebox with The Boss and some others, it was like bees coming in to eat honey. The crowds at the pool attracted customers!

In 2004, my husband and I moved to Hawaii. I remember watching President Obama (then about to be elected Senator) give his speech at the Democratic Convention. I said to my husband that he needs to run for President.

After he won his senate race, he came to Hawaii and the local Democrats set up a get together, which my husband and attended. Michelle snd their girls were also there. I will forever regret not getting my picture taken with him.

My two favorite persons. In high school in the 80s I ordered each and everyone of his records from Colombia records. President Obama I voted twice for him. If he runs again I would vote for him again.

Two Superstars, each "The Boss"!

When you have a great friend, you are lucky

It so good too see two brothers come together. It don't matter what color they are. It the respect and love that they have for each other.
It would be a better world if some people would understand that.

Depends upon where you are. If Clarence came to San Francisco, we celebrated him, whether black, white, mixed, purple. He was so wonderful

[louisemckinney]

How wonderful 2 bosses 2 brilliant minds 2 thumbs up and to God be the glory for 2 people 2 different background to have a peaceful relationship🙌🙌

[andybaldman]

The crossover we didn’t know we needed

[johndemeritt]

Two articulate, passionate men sharing a vision of what America CAN be -- what an awesome interview!

Now, it's up to us to make it so. Let's do this!

[mostguitarswins]

Well, this is just great. I didn't know that President Obama and Bruce - the boss - Springsteen have a long standing relationship. This is a matter-of-fact example of how to get beyond racial stereotypes.

[terrychancellor]

I love these two. Very wise men indeed!!! ❤️❤️❤️
