(Newser) – It's no secret that Bruce Springsteen is an Obama fan, but the Boss made his support official yesterday in a letter on his website. The president has had "a really rough ride" due to the "economic chaos" left to him by the previous administration, Springsteen writes. "But through grit, determination, and focus, the President has been able to do a great many things that many of us deeply support." He goes on to list some of those things before concluding, "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."

This whole thing of blaming "others" gets old.  What if we all did that throughout our life...blaming our mom, dad, sibling, friend, workplace, etc., as to the reason why things are so bad in our life at times?   WHAT HAPPENS? YOU GET STUCK IN LIFE!  Think about it.  Not to say past events don't have an impact/influence, but what ARE YOU going to do to change that for yourself?  Everytime this current administration AFTER 4 YEARS blames Bush or someonelse, THEY ARE LOOKING BACK....NOT FORWARD...they are stuck in the mire and guck of the past.  Makes me suspicious if "they" really have a solid plan that addresses the future.
