Dear Friends and Fans:
Like most of you, I've been following the campaign and I have now seen
and
heard enough to know where I stand. Senator Obama, in my view, is head
and
shoulders above the rest.
He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our
next
President. He speaks to the America I've envisioned in my music for
the past
35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced
and
complex problems, a country that's interested in its collective
destiny and
in the potential of its gathered spirit. A place where "...nobody
crowds
you, and nobody goes it alone."
At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through
the
exaggeration of certain of his comments and relation****ps. While
these
matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of
the
context and fabric of the man's life and vision, so well described in
his
excellent book, Dreams of My Father, often in order to distract us
from
discussing the real issues: war and peace, the fight for economic and
racial
justice, reaffirming our Constitution, and the protection and
enhancement of
our environment.
After the terrible damage done over the past eight years, a great
American
reclamation project needs to be undertaken. I believe that Senator
Obama is
the best candidate to lead that project and to lead us into the 21st
Century
with a renewed sense of moral purpose and of ourselves as Americans.
Over here on E Street, we're proud to sup****t Obama for President.
