Barack Obama is using the song 'Rising' by Bruce Springsteen.

And the band says there'll be a lawsuit if the president continues using the song without a license.

Years later, the director Rob Reiner called me to ask about using the song as the title of a new film.

Now Peter Paterno, the musician's LA-based lawyer, has sent a laugh-out-loud letter to the politician, demanding he cease using the song.

At least he stood up for how he feels about that guy using the song, and that's all you can really do.
