Can anyone remember an incumbent candidate campaigning so aggressively so far ahead of the general election?
Well, it takes time to rev the bandwagon loud enough to drown out the numerous failures of the Obama administration.
The “Obama for America” part in the corner makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit…
President Obama is an insecure narcissist who’s only talent is to campaign; he’s been campaigning non-stop for the last 2 years. I think the bloom is off the rose. People want a leader–not a campaigner.
Obama’s 2012 campaign is very strange; he’s acting like candidate Obama as if he has not be POTUS for the last 2 years; it’s just surreal. Obama will not make his case because he must defend ObamaCare, Porkulus, high unemployment, job stagnation, & inflation under his watch. The more he acts like candidate Obama, he will collapse like the house of cards he’s built his 2012 campaign on. He did something similar for 2010 since he’s trying desperately to recapture his 2008 campaign again. It won’t work. Obama must defend his failures.
Noticed today a job ad on Craigslist with the title “Obama’s 2012 Campaign Starts Today!”
It was for some telemarketing fundraising company… But hey, guess they’re getting started early
Obama began in January 20th, 2009 & hasn’t stopped. His town halls are jokes; his campaigning is a joke. Where’s the leadership Obama?
Maybe he’ll use the slogan “HOPE and CHANGE”??
While it may seem early to begin planning for an election in which he most likely will not face a Democratic primary challenger, the timeline for Mr. Obama is only slightly earlier than those of his two recent predecessors. President Bill Clinton filed his re-election papers on April 14, 1995, and George W. Bush formally opened his campaign on May 16, 2003.

but there was something else. . .can’t find it about FEC rules and monies raised before a date in June. . .that don’t need to be reported.
or maybe it was just those early hours of waking to public radio rather than an alarm.
But, rusty, did either of those men campaign as aggressively so early in the process?
don’t really remember. . .but I think O is hitting the financial thing hard
Obama’s highest priority, beyond all other issues, is….himself. Look for massive troop withdrawals next summer from Afghanistan and similar political decisions focused on one date, November 6, 2012. It was Greek columns last time, this go around will be Mt. Sinai.
Interesting rusty.
I wonder if it’s a trend, for the incumbent to start earlier and earlier.
That said, the only thing that President Obama’s shown great skill at is talking a good game. He’s a natural campaigner.
Obama is campaigning because it’s all he knows since he cannot govern; Obama has been in campaign mode since 2009; he’s just more obvious now since 2012 is on the horizon. I believe Obama is coming from a place of weakness given he is President of the United States, yet he acts like candidate Obama. Obama campaigned heavily for ObamaCare. He campaigned heavily Porkulus. All Obama does is campaign. Yet we the people reject Obama’s programs as he campaigns–again–for Amnesty 2.0.
He ignores the will of the people like any other dictator. What’s preventing Obama being a true dictator is the Constitution & the split powers among the three branches of government. Obama is trying to consolidate his power to be dictator. This is why he campaigning for a second term.
President Obama must defend his failed policies which he also blithely ignores. 2012 is not 2008. Obama will learn the hard way.
It will all come down to the following question. “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
Obama will be lucky if gas prices just stay at $4 per gallon. Most likely, they will go up. When that happens, the answer to the question above will be a resounding NO! Most people will equate high gas prices with how well they are doing. And the only way they’re coming down is to drill. Or threaten to drill as President Bush did.
I wonder what Peggy would have to say today, just two short years after this.
Countdown when Obama directly or indirectly names Bush as the reason for his current problems…3…2…1….
Right after telling Bohner that there will be plenty of time to campaign for 2012 in 2012.
Under Obama everything has been someone else’s fault. I can see the epitaph to his administration now: “It was Bush’s fault”.
There’s precedent for that. Many of the New Dealers spend the ENTIRE 12-1/2 years of FDR’s administration blaming the Great Depression on Hoover.
Yes.
If you have something legitimate to criticize him for, then go ahead and criticize him for it. But this shit? Why? Just…. why?
Aw look, Levi says yes, but as usual provides no proof.
Apparently in Levi’s view, President Obama is dark enough that he understand democracy.
Aw look, Levi says yes, but as usual provides no proof.
He’s a progressive. He doesn’t need proof of anything. His believe makes it true. See also, Global Warming, Keynesian economics…
Considering that Levi claims to be born in the mid-80’s, his reference to an incumbent’s early campaigning would be Clintoon and Bush prior to the current incumbent. Clintoon did promise a perpetual campaign before he was even inaugurated, along with focusing like a laser on unmemorable this and that. I would be interested to learn from our green, revisionist historian how it was Bush that kept campaigning and how Clinton eked out a second term by a non-majority vote in his run against Bob Dole who mostly managed to stay alive through the campaign.
