Obama campaign up with first 2012 ad - video

well look who the other option was McCain / Palin ... I still feel better with Obama

Right because we fantasized about him saying he was against the Patriot act, Bush era tax cuts, Lobbyists in cabinet, and corporate influence in politics. I must have been dreaming when he advocated for transparency in government, for closing Gitmo, and when he said "We are not the type of country that detains people without trial."

And I do as well......and his opposition this time is even worse than 2008: a racist, a homophobe, a vulture capitalist and a crazy old uncle.

Mostly paranoid fantasies. The hero of the 20th century, Franlklin Delano Roosevelt, put ACTUAL Americans in internment camps--people who were guilty of nothing but being of Japanese descent. Sorry, I don't have a hell of a lot of sympathy for treason, or for terrorists who are trying to snuff my ass. Guantanamo is still open because Congress refused to go along with it's closing. Obama is not a dictator.
My patience with impractical , whining , childish idealogues is at an end. I will stand up and tell the truth regardless of how many down votes I get , or how many enemies I make. The consequences of this next election are too important to allow extremists to undermine the only man who stands between us and the destructive REAL threat the republicans present to the social safety net, civil rights and democracy in general. I'm glad your opinion represents an insignificant minority of liberal thought.

I don't think he expects your vote. Why waste one's time groveling for fringe votes he has no chance reasoning with when the Independents are his avenue for re-election.

Dem party screwed up...been saying for a long time that he should not have been allowed to run unchallenged...this will be one terrible election in terms of choices...

Sad when I'm favoring an 82 year old man, I think Ron Paul / Chris Christie could do some justice for this once promising country

It is sad...and they are all such a mixed bag...I guess we are reaping what we in our apathy and laziness have sewn for these many decades, and shouldn't be surprised that the choices are so poor...if we ever get this democracy back...we can never let this happen again...

My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give!

I agree he has no backbone but I don't see what him being black has anything to do with it. Obama promised change then he changed the promise!

As the first african american president , He should have one quarter of the shown strength that is represented in the Black community . Its not a racial thing its a make "me" personally proud thing .

He gave us change .. pocket change .

he changed democrats into republicans.

And worst...

He changed himself I believe

Right, Chris Christie an arrogant, blow hard Wall Street bully is going to solve all your issues. Naive.

You told yourself he was a revolutionary, ignoring his own words and all evidence to the contrary. Too bad you never actuality listened to him instead of projecting your own fantasies on to him.

Christie is a good back up if the geezer kicks it . He takes no shit . Thats what we need , Not some sissy like we have now . Christie is smart as a whip and knows finance . He cut so much for NJ and while teachers and some other unions cry. It was there unions that screwed them, Teachers after elementary school are a hair away from being replaced by iPads . They should have taken the pay freeze . Greedy halfwits

Obama came out in 2008 well spoken , well presented, and young. I thought he would save Americas face within the international community and try to prove himself as the first Black president . I thought he would have fought for more. Oh well atleast I got to witness some good old fashion American History.

Christie's an obese blow hard who will fade into oblivion when the very liberal state of New Jersey throws his fat ass out of office because of the atrocities he has committed against the citizens of that state. Jersey isn't Alabama.

That's what I have been thinking... =)

Would you mind expounding a bit? KB said something along those lines the other day as well.

I thought you were the one who said something similar the other day. Would you expound?

Somebody says that every time we're about to have an election.

Voted Up!!! =)

Perhaps...

I never noticed... =)

Every damn ad, mark my words...

Good catch. Is this "investable"?

OK Coool... =)

I found this ad to be very odd...

Obama just rejected that project.

Yes, and to talk about this in the first one and for only thirty seconds... it's almost as if he's mad at environmentalists. Afterall, we want clean air, clean water, healthier food, addressing climate change, for him not to bow to Monsanto and chemical companies (which you also see wasn't mentioned here) for him not to bow to oil companies, for him to actually fight those harder who are looking to strip environmental protections ( there are only about what 12, tea prety members in Congress, and I should be afraid of them?) and for our mountains to not be blown up. We're just such pains in the butt for caring so much and expecting those who say they will address these things to actually address them.

No, he didn't. He rejected laying the pipeline for the XL extension of that project based on its current route. We still have tarsands pumped into the US via other pipelines that were just constructed and it is being refined at about 50 refineries in the U.S.

Here they are:

I stand corrected.

I think BO is a Closet Rethug....

Selling your soul crosses all political borders.

That's because we get in his way and challenge his cronyism.

Sadly So... =(

That's OK. This isn't something that has been in the media either.

I agree WholeHeartedly... Good Morning Incredulous... =)

mornin kb :-)

I felt the same way. A little disappointed.

I think he is confident the GOP can't provide a credible candidate! So he is going after the money! I personally lost all respect after he failed to acknowledge Occupy and Failed to withdraw the troops...

Change eh?

Yup!!! Change we can Believe in, LOL!!!! =)

I think Politicians have exhausted every positive sentence! LOL...
He should have campaigned "I want change, but the power might change me"...

Fair Enough, hard to disagree... =)

Yep!

Best comment I have read today!
