Dear Friends:
The election is coming up on all of us and we all have strong feelings about it. I’ve been getting asked a lot about where I stand, so for those who are interested, here goes.
This presidential election is different than the last one because President Obama has a four year record to run on. Last time around, he carried with him a tremendous amount of hope and expectations. Unfortunately, due to the economic chaos the previous administration left him with, and the extraordinary intensity of the opposition, it turned into a really rough ride. But through grit, determination, and focus, the President has been able to do a great many things that many of us deeply support.
Domestically, that record includes working to increase and expand employment for all, protecting our all important social safety net, passing guaranteed health care for most of our citizens, with important new protections for all of the insured, rescuing the auto industry and so many of the American jobs that go with it, protecting and enhancing the rights of women, and bringing us closer to full acceptance of our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.
In foreign affairs, that record includes following through on the removal of troops from the misguided and deceptive war in Iraq, and vigorously pursuing our real foreign enemies, especially the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
Right now the opposition’s resort to voter suppression in so many states is not receiving as much attention as it deserves. I believe that all of us, of whatever views, should be opposing these anti-voter, anti-citizen efforts.
Right now, for the President to be effective in his next term he needs our increased support and he needs support in the Congress, where some sterling candidates, such as current Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, challenger Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, and so many others, are fighting to make their constructive voices heard.
Right now, there is an ever increasing division of wealth in this country, with the benefits going more and more to the 1 percent. For me, President Obama is our best choice to begin to reverse this harmful development.
Right now, there is a fight going on to help make this a fairer and more equitable nation. For me, President Obama is our best choice to get us and keep us moving in the right direction.
Right now, we need a President who has a vision that includes all of our citizens, not just some, whether they are our devastated poor, our pressured middle class, and yes, the wealthy too; whether they are male or female, black, white, brown, or yellow, straight or gay, civilian or military.
Right now, there is a choice going on in America, and I’m happy that we live in a country where we all participate in that process. For me, President Obama is our best choice because he has a vision of the United States as a place where we are all in this together. We’re still living through very hard times but justice, equality and real freedom are not always a tide rushing in. They are more often a slow march, inch by inch, day after long day. I believe President Obama feels these days in his bones and has the strength to live them with us and to lead us to a country “…where no one crowds you and no one goes it alone.”
That’s why I plan to be in Ohio and Iowa supporting the re-election of President Obama to lead our country for the next four years.

STFU Bruce. No-one cares what you think.
Sure Bruce.Its the previous administrations fault.What’s the matter with those Liberal morons.They couldn’t see the forest for the trees.Or is it that they really don’t care?All they want is Obama reelected.No matter what the price to the country.
Bob Seger is the REAL Bruce Springsteen anyway. For the most part he he keeps his politics out of your face. Fixes his own motorcycles & stays out of trouble.
Where’s the BARF alert!!!!
...Obama has a four year record to run on. Last time around, he carried with him a tremendous amount of hope and expectations. Unfortunately, due to the economic chaos the previous administration left him with, and the extraordinary intensity of the opposition...Especially during that first two years, when his party controlled both houses of Congress.
Bruce the intellectual giant speaks.
********
Yes, his endorsement was written at the 8th grade level so that his mindless followers can understand it. And not so long that it would exceed their short span of attention. (By the way, thanks to the alliance of the federal education bureaucracy and teacher unions an 8th grade comprehension level is now equivalent to what the 3rd grade level used to be.)
More unicorn poop...
Written by a true socialist. Actually, the whole thing is probably the funniest piece of crap I have read in quite some time. Gives a whole new meaning to the word "brainless."
“Right now, there is an ever increasing division of wealth in this country, with the benefits going more and more to the 1 percent. For me, President Obama is our best choice to begin to reverse this harmful development.”
There are no capitalists as ruthless as those in the entertainment industry. Try to do a free download of Springsteen’s music. The wrath of God, the entertainment industry and the federal government will come down upon you. They protect like a female grizzly with her cubs their intellectual property. Mostly because it means big bucks to them. Don’t play Springsteen in your bar or restaurant without kicking back royalties to the Boss.
According to this website, http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/rock-stars/bruce-springsteen-net-worth/, Bruce is worth about $200Million.
STFU Bruce, YOU are the 1%
Hey Bruce:
1) At some point you’ve made enough money.
2) You didn’t build that, you had help(E Street Band)
3) Spread the wealth —Your Royalties!
4) If you care so much for people, why charge so much for tickets?
5) Roy Orbison sang about the lonely and he was also a republican.
6) Useful Idiots are often the 1st to be eliminated
That said, Born to Run is STILL one of my top 5 albums ever.
Go to the site and click feed back and tell Sony Bruce needs to STFU
Bruce is excercising his right to be dumber than spit. Rock on.
Bruce you are as full of crap as our LOUSY President is...
Have to tell it again. I was working at the BushHq in the 2004 election, in Columbus, oh. It was the week before election, Springsteen was doing a live concert for Kerry, Bsh was in town that night, lots of energy. Bush’s nephew ws at the HQ and press was everywhere. As I was leaving I met him and at the same time a local news crew came to me for an interview. I was asked what I thought about Springsteen stumping for Kerry that night blah, bah. I responded that I could not imagine what an aging has been rock star could possibly say that could sway voters. I made the evening news dissing Springsteen. Highlight of my life. Lol
Mr 1% taking to the common man. Sounds like he and strisand are in collusion to me. What a dolt. Can’t sing and can’t play guitar but yet due to capitalism makes millions.

BS has a net worth of $200 million! 2010 Earnings according to Forbes: $70.0 million. According to Celebrity House Pictures he has three homes, one of which is in Beverly Hills. He’s in the 1% of the 1%.
Never could stand him.
