Political observers expect the Obama campaign to raise an unprecedented $1 billion for the race.
While running for president as a senator from Illinois, Mr Obama raised a record $750 million to win the 2008 election.
that needs to be capped that is effing crap load amount of cash IMO and not needed just a waist of cash.

Here's the official kick off fund raiser that Hussien sent me personally this morning.
How coincidental. Organizing for America (OFA) and Obama for America (OFA).
yes I watched the video. And you should too. Do exactly what it says. Talk to other individuals about individual responsibilities, about rule of law, about openness of government, about free enterprise, about the 2nd amendment, about freedom verses serfdom.
Editorial comments inserted by moi.
Today, we are filing papers to launch our 2012 campaign.
We're doing this now because the politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, (but I'm raising $1,000,000,000 just for the fun of it.) 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.
So even though I'm focused on the job you elected me to do,(and a tinsy weensy amount of golf) 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.
We've always known that lasting change wouldn't come quickly or easily. It never does. 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. (I need more money)
As we take this step, I'd like to share a video that features some folks like you who are helping to lead the way on this journey. Please take a moment to watch: (be good little chattel and watch this slick propaganda piece. which by the way reveals hardly any of my principles or issues.)
http://my.barackobama.com/2012a
In the coming days, supporters like you will begin forging a new organization that we'll build together in cities and towns across the country. And I'll need you to help shape our plan as we create a campaign that's farther reaching, more focused, and more innovative than anything we've built before. (more power, more power, more power)
We'll start by doing something unprecedented: (we will be telling you what to say) coordinating millions of one-on-one conversations between supporters across every single state, reconnecting old friends, inspiring new ones to join the cause, and readying ourselves for next year's fight.
This will be my final campaign, at least as a candidate. (after that it'll be as supreme dictator) But the cause of making a lasting difference for our families, our communities, and our country has never been about one person. And it will succeed only if we work together.
There will be much more to come as the race unfolds. Today, simply let us know you're in to help us begin, and then spread the word:

LOL! I think you should volunteer to do the close caps for various politicians. It would be amusing. At least until they took the advice of the hefty bag guy fullauto posted. ;D

It is entirely appropriate that Barrack Hussein Obama runs for re-election. If there is one thing that Kenyans do well, it is run!
A poster on a newspaper forum hit this nail on the head!
-
Last time he spent $1 for every person in the country.
This time he's going to try for $3. If he does, he will spend more than all the Presidential candidates in the 21st century combined.
Thing is, he's scared since Trump mentioned having $600 Mil. of his own money.
There is no way in hell the Dems can get this chump reelected no matter how much they spend.
Only the Republicans can do that by running some retread loser who could not even carry his own party last time around.
Romney ? Huckabee? Rudy G ? These azz holes lost to McCain for crying out loud, what idiot thinks they can beat an opposing party ?
-
The most important thing in 2012 is for the Republicans not to continue down the road of politics as usual. They need to turn to "service to the country" if they wish to win. There are enough thinking people out here to elect a person that is not just buying our votes for their vanity or ego.
-
But it seems that the only one with the money, business sense, and name recognition, to win is Trump.
I may change my mind when the primary comes around, but for now he seems to be the only one worth supporting.
Herman Cain would be good, but I think BO has cursed any Black candidates for a while.
-
He's wanting re-elected... and still~~~ we don't know any of this!!
Just common knowledge that citizens of a country and especially American citizens who even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a back brace or Truman played the piano.
Good grief... we are Americans! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man'. We care, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president. Honestly, and this is a personal thing...but it's niggled at me for ages that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. The simple fact of his charisma that caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity.... We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed... Biden's aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton.. we all know about their heart problems and certainly speaking of the opposite sex- how could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House? Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy..." or "What a great dancer!!" Now look at the rest of this... no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him....
.... I just don't know about this fellow.
Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen.
Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony. Has anyone talked to the professors? It is odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.
When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos there? Every president gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library, etc. What has he released? And who in hell voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010?
Does this make you wonder? Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from President Obama's past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ?? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.
VERY, VERY STRANGE.. This should really be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced shadow man. Did you see a picture called The Manchurian Candidate?.....
Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are .. someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face ... someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us. George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia -- the class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him.
While he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records?
NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA
Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.
Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia .. EVER!
Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that." Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."
Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia ..
NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.
Some other interesting questions..
Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by Court Order?
It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases. WHAT? The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.
No wonder all his records are sealed!
Somewhere, someone had to know him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago & burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention & made us all swoon with his charm, poise & speaking pizzazz.
Doesn't this bother ANYONE?? ?? ?? ?
-
Trump doesn't have a political background to tear apart, but the left will nail him as the "evil rich." I fear that it is going to make the woman going to get Obama dollars after the last election look small. However, it will make it interesting here in Minnesota where rich boy Dayton was elected by the Dems. Apparently having money is evil unless you are willing to take it from others and give it away.

Only once M'lette. Jackson shot the SOB. ;D

FIFY :D

a lot of un answered questions there M'ette
-
I wasn't aware he'd stopped campaigning.
I'll call the election right now--Obama wins. The Dems give us Jimmy Carter, Jr, and the RINOs think they're not moderate enough (read: far enough left). Hell, they ran Obama's biggest fan against Obama last time, and like somebody already said, "All they've suggested so far is the group that lost to McCain last time around."
If they really wanted to do this fairly, Primary Day would be one the same day around the country. It wouldn't let New England pick our candidates.
-

FQ13
That isn't exactly true. The accusation was in fact a major campaign issue. Jackson always believed that the way she was pilloried in the press destroyed her health and he never forgave Washington society or Henry Clay who he held responsible for that and screwing him out of the previous election by making a deal with JQ Adams.
-
BO looks like he will be with us for another term unless we have someone come forward who isn't in the running now. Enough people live off the public trough now that a candidate proposing cuts in government is the last thing they will vote for.
-
So this was in the headlines of today's paper and it all of a sudden dawned on me:
WHAT ARROGANCE
Shouldn't the incumbent wait until his party "nominates" him for re-election?
FQ! Yo! What's the history on this? Have other incumbents made formal campaign kickoffs before the convention?
-
Want to have some fun? Want to feel better?
My local paper is running a poll: Will Obama be re-elected in 2012?
Now my county is primarily Republican, but it would be fun to blow this poll really way out.

Scroll down a little on the left side. Good for today only
-
I both agree and disagree with "Ed from North Carolina" in that video. Like Ed, I don't agree with everything (in my case most anything) Obama says. Where we disagree is in the fact that, unlike Ed, I DON'T trust Obama. Perhaps that's because, unlike Ed, I have a fully-functional bullshit detector.
-

I've been saying this since the day after the 2010 mid-term election. Nobody I've seen on the Republican side instills confidence in me. While I like Trump, I can't see "The Party" allowing him to be the candidate. So we're left with another freaking RINO like McCain, or somebody who (as Mr. B so eloquently phrased it) couldn't beat him in 2008. Combine the fact that Obama's steamroller has been pretty well neutered since the mid-term election with the fact that the typical voter has, not only a rather low IQ, but a very short memory, and it sets the stage for a Hollywood-style horror story....."Obama II.....The Curse Continues".
And all that isn't even taking into account the affect of a potential independent candidate siphoning off votes from whomever the GOP runs, a la Ross Perot.
I hate to sound like a defeatist, but damn!!

Noon, tues. 68% no - 32%yes ;D

Perot didn't change the outcome of the '92 election. Yes, he got 19% of the popular vote, but he got none of the electoral votes. Even if you are charitable and assume every one of those votes would've gone to Bush I, Bush still wouldn't have won. Let's just be honest and blame Bush for taking a dump on his voter base.
If you want to use an accurate example, try Nader in FL circa 2000.
-
The thing that sunk Bush 1 was cooperating with the Dems who turned around and f*cked him.
The only incumbent President who still got standing ovations as he lost the election.
-
I'd argue that the '89 Import Ban didn't endear him to gun owners, but I agree it wasn't a major factor to most.
ETA--Bush I is a good illustration of why you should never promise things you have no control over (e.g. No New Taxes).

OBAMA'S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT
By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010
Barack Hussien Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.
To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and
our country from within.
Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate
( Columbia University , class of '83).
He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.
Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University .
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming.
Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn
the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority
that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted
on to always vote for bigger government.
Why not? ....They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care .
The health care bill had very little to do with health
care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and
health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents
(who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving
free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.
What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million
voters to Democrats and big government .
Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill
in the middle of a depression?
Cap and trade.
Like health care legislation having nothing to do with
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.
It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.
They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to
Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars,
bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state?
Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government
entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?
Certainly not American taxpayers.
But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along.
His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman
and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.
Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could
overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable
new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government.
Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and
eventually Social Security .
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?
It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions – including
billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.
It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.
It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama
almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to
teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).
All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their
bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .
The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama,
the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.
The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job
creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers,
redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did
nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically
cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically
raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above,
Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding
constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of
public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated
to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama
using the Cloward and Piven Plan .
True per snopes!
