He played the Super Bowl halftime show in 2009, but noticeably omitted performing his famous "Born in the U.S.A.," apparently because [[Barack Obama]] had just been sworn in as president.<ref>http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/02/bruce-springste.html</ref>

Springsteen is known for his liberal anthems, such as "[[Born in the USA]]" and "[[We Take Care of Our Own]]".

Springsteen supports the reelection of [[Barack Hussein Obama]] in 2012, though he will not be on the campaign trail for Obama this time, perhaps because of the lack of enthusiasm for Obama this time. He supported [[John Kerry]] in 2004 and Obama in 2008, campaigning for them though saying he wants to promote his new album and that it was bit of an accident that he campaigned during the Bush years.<ref>http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/02/bruce-springsteen-sitting-out-2012-but-backs-obama/</ref>

To the thrill of the [[lamestream media]], Springsteen was critical of the use of one his song "Born In The USA" by [[Ronald Reagan]]'s campaign in 1984. The song is actually a protest song against the Vietnam War; the Reagan campaign mistakenly assumed it was not a protest song. Springsteen campaigned for [[John Kerry]] in 2004 and [[Barack Obama]] in 2008, and criticized then-President [[George W. Bush]]<ref>Stephen M. Silverman, "Springsteen States His Case Against Bush," [http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,677682,00.html ''People Magazine'' Aug. 06, 2004]</ref> He is now a high profile advocate for [[same-sex marriage]] in New Jersey.<ref>[http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/58306 Bruce Springsteen Voices Support for Same-Sex Marriage in NJ, CNSNews.com, December 09, 2009]</ref>

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 critcism 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.
