Obama Begins Gearing Up Re-Election Bid
January 12th, 2011
The looming departure of three top White House officials has brought into early focus the contours of the election effort—and has surfaced concern from some Democrats that Mr. Obama is beginning too soon.
Democratic officials said the re-election campaign needs an early start to establish Mr. Obama as a formidable candidate and begin raising money for a bid expected to cost each party around $1 billion.
White House officials declined to discuss re-election efforts.
After a disastrous midterm election for his party, Mr. Obama recently has been seeking to re-establish himself as a unifying figure who can appeal to independent voters. Now, some Democratic strategists close to the White House fear the return of Mr. Obama as a candidate could harm the repositioning effort.
Moreover, some of these Democrats, who at times advise Mr. Obama’s inner circle, worry that the establishment of a campaign office in Chicago will create two power centers that may clash.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, presidential adviser David Axelrod and Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina will all leave Washington in the coming weeks to form the core of a re-election campaign, with Mr. Messina directing the effort.

Comment by American Grand Jury:
If you read between the lines here I am suggesting Obama is going to announce early believing he can outrun some of the “Birther” legislation pending in States around the country. Fat chance — Obama isn’t going to get by so easy this time. The people are prepared now. Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Montana and Arkansas that I know of are planning “Birther” bills to challenge Obama.
From now on when we speak about Obama running for office we need to say “Eligibility Fraud” in the same breath. Everything we print regarding Obama needs to bring up the issue. The old saying, “fool me once, shame on you.. fool me twice, shame on me” is very important now.
