President Barack Obama Officially Launches Re-Election Campaign With E-Mail, Website
Posted on Apr 04, 2011 @ 04:15AM
President Barack Obama on Monday officially announced his re-election campaign, some 20 months ahead of the upcoming November 2012 election, with a mass e-mail to his supporters, linking to his website and re-designed logo, as he urges them to begin spreading his message now.

"We've always known that lasting change wouldn't come quickly or easily. It never does," Mr. Obama, 49, wrote in the e-mail. "But as my administration and folks across the country fight to protect the progress we've made - and make more - we also need to begin mobilizing for 2012, long before the time comes for me to begin campaigning in earnest.
"We're doing this now because the politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, but with you — with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers, and friends. And that kind of campaign takes time to build," he said in the e-mail.

"So even though I'm focused on the job you elected me to do, and the race may not reach full speed for a year or more, the work of laying the foundation for our campaign must start today."
On his website, barackobama.com, a video titled It Begins With Us shows Americans from every slice-of-life looking back on the last four years, while looking ahead to the next four.

"It needs to reflect the changes that we've seen in the last two-and-a-half years," Katherine from Colorado said, in the video, of Obama's re-election campaign. "Then we had an underdog senator. Nobody thought that he had a chance.
“And now he's the president!"

Even if M gets the turkey baster full of a real man's sperm and has a baby, we still don't want to see you again.

Thank God someone has stood up and done something to rectify the mess the GOP congress and "President" got us into. As always, the Dems come into clean up their mess. Thanks to OBama we're not in a GOP depression.

Rumors of a second bailout, another dip coming in real estate, foreclosures everywhere, people out of work, more war, retirements eroded, healthcare benefits decreased, healthcare premiums increased, etc...I'll pass
on this sort of change thank you.

Everythign you mentioned that was bad was done by the Republicans. Deficits, real estate, bailout (which has been repaid), unemployment, unnecessary war, decrease in healthcare benefits.....all thanks to GOP Prez and GOP Congress!!!!!

Or so the Dems would have you believe...Bush was inheriting major baggage from the Clinton era.

Yeah. That "baggage" was a budget SURPLUS which the GOP congress and Prez spent wildly on tax cuts and a ridiculous war. Any 4th grader can look in the Almanac or do a google search to see what the GOP did to the Clinton surplus
