Barack Obama, according to Politico, will announce that he officially plans to seek re-election as early as Monday. He will e-mail his supporters from 2008 and explain his decision to them, as well as the decision to base his campaign in Chicago.
In order to establish his candidacy, he must file registration papers with the FEC. Although the White House expects this to occur Monday, it will be delayed if some ‘crisis’ makes it appear that Obama is being insensitive.
Campaign officials planned to make this announcement as early in this quarter as possible, to give them the most time to raise money. This might have an intimidation factor, as he is expected to raise a great deal more than any potential opponent. However, apparently to avoid irony, they decided that Friday, April 1 might be a poor choice. However, a major fund raising event is scheduled for April 14 in Chicago, so the paperwork must be filed before then.
Following the event in Chicago, Obama will go to the Democrats’ wishing well cities in recent decades, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, to augment his team’s finances.
According to the article, Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, has been attempting to induce major donors to commit themselves in advance of the announcement. David Axelrod plans to be in charge of strategy. Photo below.

So I take it he found his birth certificate. Or saved another 2 million to defend his right not to show it.

I heard obama has a 1 billion dollar war chest, how true it is I don’t know. Those helping him to get re-elected are by proxy seeking to destroy the country. obama getting re-elected is going to be a nightmare, he will go all out to get what he wants done because he will not be up for election again. That’s where you’re going to see the horns come out. He might legalize all illegals by executive order, implement some form of cap and trade, continue to ban drilling, allow unemployment & fuel costs to worsen, actively strengthen the unions, and maybe worst of all purposely collapse the economy by adding tremendous numbers to the debt. In this time the dollar will probably stop being used for the standard per barrel of oil and be replaced by chinese currency. Not to mention our military cuts while china is adding 10% to their budget to grow their military, this guy has to lose miserably and get the hell out!

Every time I think of obama I envision a science fiction movie where we live in a world that doesn’t look anything like it used to, but there are remnants of the “Old World” that nobody speaks of out of fear.
On a lighter note, I think of a street walker that has a civil service job, just floating along until the pension kicks in…
P.S. Remember this one(paraphrasing)? “To solve our nation’s fuel problems everyone should check the air in thier tires and inflate to the proper pressure.”

Hey Micky, read this article. It kinda confirms your theory that Obama was a conjoined twin. Only not at the butt.
