I remember President Obama’s election night was an evening you could feel the locked doors of the past finally being blown open to new possibilities. But then comes a hard, daily struggle to make those possibilities real in a world that is brutally resistant to change. We’ve seen that over the past four years.

I’ve lived long enough to know that the future is rarely a tide rushing in. It’s often a slow march, inch by inch, day after long day, and I believe we are in the midst of those days right now. And I believe that President Obama feels those days in his bones. For all 100% of us.

Springsteen will join Obama in Madison on Monday.
