Exclusive: White House privately plots 2012 campaign run (NOT A SATIRE)
Politico ^ | February 24, 2010 | Mike Allen

Posted on 02/24/2010 9:43:53 AM PST by C19fan

President Barack Obama’s top advisers are quietly laying the groundwork for the 2012 reelection campaign, which is likely to be run out of Chicago and managed by White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina, according to Democrats familiar with the discussions.

The planning for now consists entirely of private conversations, with Obama aides at all levels indulging occasionally in closed-door 2012 discussions while focusing ferociously on the midterm elections and health care reform, the Democratic sources said. “The gathering storm is the 2010 elections,” one top official said.

But the sources said Obama has given every sign of planning to run again and wants the next campaign to resemble the highly successful 2008 effort.

The narcissist sees themselves as popular, successful and beloved. When Obama loses, he will be shocked and confused.

I'll bet Hillary is putting her 2012 plans in motion as well.

She knows the stupidity of Obama up close and personal.

If Obama is still struggling in 12, Hillary will challenge him.

Unless he forgoes a 2nd term. As you know, the job of President is really “beneath” him.

Whoever the Republican is, they need to use “We won’t get fooled again” every campaign ad against Obama. And any democrat running in 2012 aw well.

“Using the same plan that made the 2008 campaign so successful.”

In other words;

LIE LIKE HELL!

0bamao should not be on ANY state’s ballot until he can prove he qualifies under the “Natural Born” provision of The Constitution.

It almost seems as if you believe that we have open, fair & honest elections. I’m fairly sure we DON’T, and the only way to make sure we DO is to watch over the ballot-box, the counting, and the certification of votes... ARMED AND READY TO DO VIOLENCE.

If anything the “vaporization” of ACORN’s charges of massive multi-state voter-fraud shows us that non-violence & passivism will no longer work.

IOW: It’s time to stand up for ourselves OR quit whining about having it in the ass.

As if we didn’t notice he never stopped campaigning.

Now it’s done on our dime.

Of course the drill will be that O inherited such a mess that four years is not enough time to fix it and that the Repubs have been blocking his plans. Blab, blab, blab...

With many RATs abandoning ship, I think Hillary will wait for the '10 results. If they're bad enough for the dems, then she can step in to "save the country and the party."

Unless he forgoes a 2nd term. As you know, the job of President is really “beneath” him.

I think 0kaka will not run for a second term for two reasons:

1- His party may dump him after the drubbing of '10.

2- If one accented; naturalized American citizen "attempts" to run in '12 and is rightfully thrown off the ballots, 0b0z0 will be toast. I don't believe he can stand court proceedings that should level the playing field for all candidates.

Not to worry O will get his walking papers well before 2012.
