Very nice. The fans were chanting "4 more years" at the end of the game.

1. Born in the U.S.A...

Born down in a dead man town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a.
I was born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A...

2. Yeah, interesting that they used that as his entrance music,

It really is a scathing piece of political commentary.

3. I think the message was just the chorus... and it's kind of funny in context with the birthers. n/t

4. True, which is why it amazes me that Reagan used that song

But I think it's pretty obvious they were playing it for Obama because of the disgusting Birther attacks.
