(AP Photo/Alex Brandon, file) 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."
