Mock-fest alert! Springsteen sings creepy Obama song, says first debate 'freaked him out'; Update: President Empty Chair faces empty arena seats

Wait, what?

Wait. Is Springsteen singing a song about Obama now? #LibsAreSoCreepy

Yes, yes he did, while campaigning for Obama today.

Obama’s laser-like focus tweeted it out, too.

We wish it just ended with that picture (which would be bad enough); Alas, it did not. The song? It happened.

Springsteen song also rhymes "drama" and "marijuana" with Obama.

Bruce Springsteen will fly on Air Force One from Madison, WI to Columbus, OH but will find his own way to Des Moines for final rally.

Oh, dear. As Twitchy reported, he debuted this “song” last month. Who would have thought that he’d actually keep singing it? In public, no less. Lesson not learned, huh, Bruce? To be fair, at least he didn’t pull a Russell Crowe and call Obama “the light and the future.” At least, we don’t think he did. Please say it ain’t so.

The mocking was swift.

@markknoller What, pray tell, rhymes with “gay marriage?”

That wasn’t Springsteen and Obama’s only fail, believe it or not.

In 2004, Kerry and Springsteen got 80,000 people in Madison before election. Today, Obama and Springsteen got 18,000.

Whoops! Y’all don’t have the same draw this time around, do you? And the trifecta of fail:

Good grief! He is just like the other Obama cultists who were “deeply shaken” by The One’s debate performance. Oh, dear: Now we’ve been reminded of that and cannot stop gasping with giggles. Thanks, Bruce!

Twitter users rightly hold a mock-fest. And it’s beautiful.

Springsteen's about the same age as Romney. He'd draw bigger crowds at a retirement community than a college town. #EverybodysGotAHungryAARP

Man of the people! Obama is so “in touch” that he needs Bruce Springsteen to speak-sing for him.

It's pretty sweet that you got Jay-Z and Bruce Springsteen but do you have any jobs or a way to lower the national deficit? Just wondering.

And a bit of yummy irony: Maybe Bruce can write a song about it!

Delicious irony RT @feliciasonmez: Per flight crew, after Election Day Romney's charter jet is next set to be used by … Bruce Springsteen

More, please, Twitter. As for you Mr. Springsteen? No more thinkies. Thanks!

Update:

Even Springsteen couldn’t fill a stadium for President Empty Chair.
