NEW YORK (AP) — After vowing not to get involved in this year'spresidential election, Bruce Springsteen is supporting Barack Obama again, saying he believes Obama is the best person to lead America.
The Boss posted a message on his website Wednesday night endorsing Obama's re-election, saying he had been "getting asked a lot about where I stand."
Springsteen made his debut on the 2012 campaign trail Thursday at an event in Parma, Ohio, with former President Bill Clinton. He will also be at an event in Ames, Iowa.
Springsteen supported Obama in 2008. In his letter, he calledObama's four years in office "a really rough ride" because of the "economic chaos" from President George W. Bush's administration and "the extraordinary intensity of the opposition."
But the 63-year-old rock star said he's behind Obama because of the president's views on the rights of women and gays, ending the war in Iraq and tracking down Osama bin Laden.
"Right now, there is a fight going on to help make this a fairer and more equitable nation. For me, President Obama is our best choice to get us and keep us moving in the right direction," he wrote.
