It’s official. Barack Obama is now officially a candidate to seek reelection as President of the United States.
With text messages and an email blast to supporters, as well as a video announcement via his website entitled “It Begins With Us,” President Obama became the first candidate of the 2012 election. The president urged grass-roots supporters central to his first White House run to mobilize again to protect the change he’s brought over the past two years, saying: “We’ve always known that lasting change wouldn’t come quickly or easily. It never does. But as my administration and folks across the country fight to protect the progress we’ve made — and make more — we also need to begin mobilizing for 2012, long before the time comes for me to begin campaigning in earnest.”
The Obama-Biden campaign will once again be orchestrated by David Plouffe, who hopes to raise an historic $1 billion dollars to reelect the president.
