'the Boss' and Barack

Bruce Springsteen endorses Barack Obama
Springsteen broke the news in a letter posted on his website. Obama, he said, "has the depth, the reflectiveness and the resilience to be our next president."
Without mentioning Clinton, Springsteen took issue with Obama critics who have fanned recent flaps over Obama's comments about "bitter" small-town Americans and his long relationship with the controversial Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.
"Critics have tried to diminish Sen. Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships," Springsteen said. "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 . . . often in order to distract us from discussing the real issues."
