“Over here on E Street, we’re proud to support Obama for President,” The Boss said. Citing the need for a “great American reclamation project” to restore the damage done to the United States during the Bush administration, Springsteen writes on his website that Obama is the candidate best able to bring a “new moral purpose” back to the country.

“At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships. 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, so well described in his excellent book, Dreams From My Father, often in order to distract us from discussing the real issues: war and peace, the fight for economic and racial justice, reaffirming our Constitution, and the protection and enhancement of our environment.”[Bruce Sprinsteen]
