Bruce Springsteen has come out strongly for President Barack Obama. The musician posted a lengthy statement about his reasons for supporting the president. He also spoke at a campaign rally:

I'm here today because I'm concerned about women's rights, I don't have to tell you the dangers to Roe v. Wade under our opponent's policies. I'm also here today because I'm deeply concerned about the continued disparity in wealth between our best off citizens and our everyday citizens. That's a disparty I believe our honorable opponent's policies will only increase, and it threatens to divide us into two distinct and foreign nations, until many of us will end up like a song I wrote in the 1980's, "Jackson Cage:" just the scenerey in another man's play.

and also performed in support.
