Obama Gets The Boss’ Approval
It looks like Bruce Springsteen has pledged his public support for Barack Obama. Here’s what he had to say…
“At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships,” said the New Jersey native, in a statement posted on his Web site Wednesday. “While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man’s life and vision… Over here on E Street, we’re proud to support Obama for President.”
In February, Springsteen stated a few reasons to USA Today as to why he likes Obama:
“I always look at my work as trying to measure the distance between American promise and American reality,” he told the paper. “And I think (Obama’s) inspired a lot of people with that idea: How do you make that distance shorter?”
Let ‘em know Boss!
