 His 2009 album ''Working on a Dream'' featured a title track that was about the coming of the Obama Administration and how the [[American Dream]] was being restored, consistent with Springsteen's support of Obama in 2008 and criticism of Bush in 2004.

 Springsteen released ''[[Wrecking Ball]]'' in 2012, which is an overly political album. The first song on the album, "[[We Take Care of Our Own]]", is critical of Americans, claiming that they are selfish and not willing to, as Springsteen puts it, "take care of our own". It is similar to "[[Born in the USA]]" in the regard that it has been mistaken for a patriotic anthem, that due to the upbeat nature and the chorus, some believe it to be a patriotic song saying that Americans indeed take care of their own. The album, Springsteen claims, is in support of the blue collar worker. This album came out after Springsteen became overly political supporting liberal causes. The song "We Take Care of Our Own" is on the list for music for the [[Obama]] campaign.
