President Obama launches re-election campaign

2011-04-04 16:45:41 GMT+7 (ICT)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) -- Barack Obama on early Monday morning launched his re-election campaign for President of the United States with a 2-minute web video.

The brief video on www.barackobama.com, titled "It Begins With Us", featured several supporters but no footage of Obama himself. "The politics we believe in starts not with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, but with you - with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers and friends," a statement along with the web video said.

Sometimes change is necessary if the horse turns out to be a jackass.

I'm sure you say that about all the democrats.

Which is why the voters ran away from McCain and Palin last time.

Well on the foreign policy front we have appeasing Iran and probably turning Egypt into a fledgling theocracy, not to mention fighting alongside the Taleban for the first time since 1978.

Fiscally we have an explicit policy of dollar debasement which can only result in a debt default through inflation which would make most banana republics blush.

you have to laugh at the irony though.................

Last year the headline was " Obama criticizes generation iPad "

" US president Barack Obama has criticized the iPad and Xbox 360 for transforming relevant information into a "diversion" and putting "new pressures" on democracy.

"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, - none of which I know how to work - information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama claimed in a speech at Hampton University quoted by AFP."

POLITICAL COMMENTARY FROM ANDREW MALCOLM

John Phillips: Why Hillary Clinton must run in 2012

April 4, 2011 | 2:22 am

If Hillary Clinton's primary voters and President Obama had their relationship status listed on their Facebook pages, it would change from “Married” to “It's complicated.”

To be fair, Hillary voters never fell in love with Obama, they just fell in line. Their relationship is less like a Julia Roberts chick flick and more like a Bengali arranged marriage.

Because of their arrangement, Hillary-loving Obama voters are quick to jump ship whenever Mr. Hope-and-Change looks like he's getting played again by his political opponents, is in over his head or is dissing their girl.

Despite Obama's anti-climactic campaign announcement just now, according to all the recent polls, Hillary voters aren't only jumping ship –- they're taking their fins, snorkels and pina coladas with them.

That's just a bunch of noise. I preferred Hillary back then, I still prefer Hillary, but she's not running, so talking about it might be fun but it's not real world. 2016 Hillary? Sure.

[chachachacha]

Well it will only be another right wing President again . Never been a left wing one that is why the country is a fk up. It also means that a new one will mean a new Christian Crusade somewhere in the world .

The USA has done nothing to the murdering shits that killed their own people (men,women & children) the wholesale slaughter of them a WACO. If they can cover that up I wonder what slaughter is covered up in crusade lands.

The only difference between the parties is one lot just want to fk health care off & let the people carry on dieing on the streets & the other wants them to die in Hospital (OUT OF SIGHT) & the mugs (voters) actually vote for them (AMAZING)

Reminds me of Thailand in many ways . USA is a third world country , uncivilised (EXECUTION) & don't give a flying about the poor in their own country .Do they honestly believe that the world is stupid enough to believe the BS about they care for people in other countries when they don't care about their own.

Not sure how to follow that one.

Anyway, how about them Cubbies?

Sorry we would rather have a president that already has the tools to do the job.

Not someone who made 510 campaign promises & kept....?

Well I guess in a bizzaro way he did keep his promise of transparency....

Most of us now see right through him

No more secrecy???? Have we EVER seen more secrecy than what we have seen these past 3 years?

Yeah his entire campaign was about the new generation of media and Internet and it was the most "switched on" campaign in history. Now that technology is not a good thing since it will likely work against him..

So the November 2012 election season starts now in April 2011. What's wrong with this picture?

No more time for practice anyways, he came in riding on some high horse of being able to effect change and knew the job at hand and lied about his ability to take it on (or naively didn't) just to become one of the worst con men of all time, he talks a good game, nothing more..

But he did win (?) the Nobel peace prize though ...

That stream, it's deep and fast, don't mess with the horsey, you might get sunk!

No, I don't love Obama's performance, but I know deep in my heart he's going to beat the pants off anyone the R(egression) party comes up with.

Here's a good source, it seems that Obama is being outdone by the GOP..One of the most balanced sources I know of..

Yes at the rate he is going there may be no Federal Government to run for...

Mr Obama is embroiled in debates about aiding the Libyan rebels and funding the US government, and faces the possibility of a government shutdown if a resolution is not found by Friday.

Blame Obama for a government shutdown. That's rich. I predict this is going to be the nastiest campaign EVER. (Aren't they all?)

Actually I am all for smaller govt. But not the way he has achieved it.

Also a lot of assumptions......

I for one am not interested in either party....right wing...left wing....same corrupt bird

Look at the major campaign contributors for both & see for yourself.

It is only the illusion of choice that you assume when playing the right vs left card

Edited April 4, 2011 by flying

[Jingthing]

Yeah, both parties are corporate status quo. But that doesn't mean there aren't BIG differences.

If nothing else consider the difference in supreme court justices potentially to be picked by Obama vs. some character like Palin or Romney. I currently think Palin will run but don't expect her to get the nomination.

Obamacare? It's seems a mess but remember Obama really wanted to do the right thing, a Canadian style single payer system, but sadly he had to face the reality that the corporate powers that be plus socialist-phobic Americans would never go for it.

I am most curious if the RP has any candidate that could beat the gigantic -Obama's expected- campaign wallet of $ 1 Billion (Obama's last campaign had a mere $ 750 million, so I heard)

Can any candidate from the RP beat him with that kind of money ?

yes .... for example was he even entitled to run in the first place ?

" Arizona is now introducing a bill (HB 2544) that would require Obama and any other candidate vying for the presidency, to produce a birth certificate in order to run in 2012. Should this bill pass, Obama will have no choice, but produce his actual birth certificate for his name to appear on the Arizona ballot. If other red states follow suit, the problem will compound itself, because if Obama cannot produce the birth certificate, his critics could possibly conclude that he was never eligible to begin with, therefore any bill that was passed or executive order signed by Obama during his presidency becomes null and void. "
