Obama Begins 2012 Re-Election Campaign

[MikeBjerum]

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.

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

Only once M'lette. Jackson shot the SOB.

 Apparently having money is evil unless you are willing to take it from others and give it away your name is Kennedy, Soros, Gore, Kerry, Rockefeller, etc.

FIFY

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.

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.
