For the second day in a row, rock star Bruce Springsteen sang a few songs and urged thousands of potential voters in a battleground state to register and support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Springsteen's free acoustic concert at The Ohio State University in front of about 10,000 followed Saturday's performance in Philadelphia, where he called the Bush administration "a disaster." He repeated that comment Sunday, and indicated that Obama would lead an "American reclamation project" to restore the country's international reputation.
Springsteen plans to play at an Obama gathering in Michigan today. On Oct. 16, he will join Billy Joel at an Obama fundraiser in New York City.
