Repeat After Me: 'Bruce Springsteen Is A Jerk'

That self-described "attention whore" known as Bruce Springsteen has done it again.
Speaking of the situation in America, the self-proclaimed "Boss" says the political climate in our country right now is "very, very ugly" and he attacked President Obama's critics for the "most extreme language" that they use to criticize the changes that the President is trying to bring about.
