Bruce Springsteen: 'The boss' rails against 'very ugly' political climate surrounding Barack Obama

____ “The climate in America is very, very ugly for getting things done. The moderate reforms President Obama fought to make are called Marxist, socialist," he told the Sunday Times magazine.

“I mean, the most extreme language is put into play to describe the most modest reforms that would move the economy back towards serving a majority of its citizens.”

" . . . you have the financial institutions, you have the military, the corporations. They're in play constantly and, in truth, they're shaping the economy and shaping the direction the US is moving in.

“Those forces are huge. The money and lobbyists are pouring in to do everything they can to preserve the status quo. It's a very tough time, a very hard time here in the States."

____“Most people don’t want to take their political direction from guys who are shaking their ass in front of 60,000 people,” he explains. “And that’s understandable. So I put my two cents in when I can, to be as helpful as I can when the moment arises.”
