CAMPAIGNER IN CHIEF?
Posted on 04/30/2012 7:22:51 AM PDT by Jeff Head
Barack Obama has already held more re-election fundraising events than every elected president since Richard Nixon combined, according to figures to be published in a new book.
Obama is also the only president in the past 35 years to visit every electoral battleground state in his first year of office.
The figures, contained a in a new book called The Rise of the President’s Permanent Campaign by Brendan J. Doherty, due to be published by University Press of Kansas in July, give statistical backing to the notion that Obama is more preoccupied with being re-elected than any other commander-in-chief of modern times.
Campaigner in chief?
Barack Obama has been assiduously visiting swing states; he is pictured earlier this week speaking in Iowa Doherty, who has compiled statistics about presidential travel and fundraising going back to President Jimmy Carter in 1977, found that Obama had held 104 fundraisers by March 6th this year, compared to 94 held by Presidents Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Snr, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush combined.
Since then, Obama has held another 20 fundraisers, bringing his total to 124. Carter held four re-election fundraisers in the 1980 campaign, Reagan zero in 1984, Bush Snr 19 in 1992, Clinton 14 in 1996 and Bush Jnr 57 in 2004.

Fox gives us some; Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Beck, etc. give us a lot...and you can find it if you look for it on the internet.
But the big netwokrs and newspapers continue carrying Obama’s and any other leftist’s water for them, and continue acting as America’s Pravda and Ministry of Public Enlightenment (what the Nazis called it).
They are failing. 2010 proved it. I pray to God in Heaven now here in November the American people double down on it, to the astonishment of these statist, tyrant wanna-bes, and their abettors in the media, and send them packing on a rail.
Picked some nifty info last night during an “independent” survey call and during the interview the guy told (not a routine part of the survey interview) me that with the exception of Kalifornia (who was big time for nobama) his group was hearing lots of disgruntle all over about nobama and he said more than 1/2 of the people saying they were basically GOP, more identified themselves as TEA PARTY!
It would be so nice if 2012 made 2010 look like a rehearsal.
