WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is getting ready to make one of Washington's worst kept secrets official: He wants a second term.
Democratic officials familiar with the plan say Obama will file 2012 campaign papers with the Federal Election Commission as early as this coming week.
It's a long-anticipated but formal step that will allow him to start raising money for the campaign, which will be based in Chicago.
The fundraising effort has begun. Obama raised $1.5 million at a Democratic fundraiser in New York City this past week and he'll headline events in the coming weeks in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Obama raised an eye-catching $750 million for his 2008 campaign.
The officials asked not to be identified in order to speak before the re-election papers are filed.
Fuck oh dear. I hope he is one and done.

Where the FUCK is that bastards birth certificate?!
ReplyDeleteWatch...he will raise record amounts of money. Why? Because every tyrant, thug, criminal and fanatic who hates America wants him right were he is...
ReplyDeleteHell, I'd be happy if just some of his money came from AMERICAN sources.
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't messed up enough. Gas is still under $5.00, most of us still have homes and our children will only be paying off our national debt. There are enough fruitcakes to elect him again and let him screw us even farther into the ground.
ReplyDeleteIt’s going to be interesting to see what platform he runs on and what achievements he cites. Personally, I have mixed feelings on his Presidency. I think on the one hand he came in with enormous hope and expectation but has failed to live up to that. There have been some campaign promises which weren’t met.
