It is unusual for a President to launch a re-election nearly two years before the vote, but this is exactly what Barack Obama is laying the ground work for. Without fanfare Robert Gibbs, David Axelrod, and Jim Messina are leaving the White House, returning to Chicago to form the nucleus of the campaign staff.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Obama’s advisors believe, “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.”
Watch as the wealth spread around to unions, special interest groups, investment bankers and others by the Obama stimulus is called back, in what promises to be the biggest Presidential fundraising blitz in history.
Obama has spent less time in the White House than any president in modern history, and the next two years promise the same: a literal orgy of fundraisers. Spending a billion dollars guarantees we will be flooded with paid media ads until we are all sick of the propaganda.
Across the aisle, the field promises to give Republicans a wide variety of choices.
As Obama began his efforts this week, a Republican from Georgia also launched his committee. While far from a household name, he is a favorite of Tea Party activists. Over the past two years, he has been crisscrossing the country speaking at any Tea Party event he could manage to attend.
His name is Herman Cain. Cain is an African American entrepreneur and the former CEO of Godfather’s pizza. He first gained notice as an opponent of Hillarycare, an early version of socialist healthcare legislation that was defeated in the 1990’s. According to a Newsweek report at the time, Cain “challenged Clinton at a town meeting in Kansas City, MO, last April. Cain asked the president what he was supposed to say to the workers he would have to lay off because of the cost of the ‘employer mandate.’ Clinton responded that there would be plenty of subsidies for small businessmen, but Cain persisted. ‘Quite honestly, your calculation is inaccurate,’ he told the president. ‘In the competitive marketplace it simply doesn’t work that way.’”
We met with Cain this week while he was in Arizona celebrating the election of newly sworn-in Tea Party State Senator Lori Klein. Klein and Cain have worked together extensively in the past to simplify America’s tax code. Cain believes our government needs more simplification and common sense.
Quite bluntly, we were both impressed by Cain.
When Cain became President and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, Inc., it stood on the brink of bankruptcy. In only 14 months, he turned it to profitability. Couldn’t we use this type of business knowhow to help balance the budget in Washington? “I’ve turned around situations where companies were about to go bankrupt. Now the United States of America is about to go bankrupt. I think my ability to solve problems will appeal to a lot of people.”
Girded with an undergraduate degree in mathematics and a Master’s degree from Purdue, Cain also served as chairman of the Federal Reserve in Kansas City. He fully understands the great dangers the uncontrolled spending and printing of money will have on the nation’s future generations. Cain advocates a return to sound money, and we believe this could be the biggest issue by 2012 as already oil and food prices are soaring. Inflation’s nefarious effects are already making it difficult for the most vulnerable Americans to afford groceries. Cain would focus on the economy and national security as president.
But one of the most impressive of Herman Cain’s qualifications is his faith in God. He quietly shared with us, how he felt the power of an omniscient God at key junctures of his life. We like to call this the power of God’s Providence.
Cain has never been one to shirk from a challenge. From a WND interview last summer, Cain words ring true in light of the tragedy in Tucson. “One of the tactics of the Left is the assumption that 50 percent of the American public is clueless and makes all of its decisions based on sound bites and pretty speeches,” he explained. “They’re right. The biggest challenge for the GOP and conservatives will be to educate people. This is why the Left is trying to demagogue talk radio, Fox News, and WorldNetDaily.”

Obama will STEAL the election…………………. AGAIN.
Not unless we let him by voter apathy !! It's up to YOU and ME !!
The Obama Stamp
The Postal Service created a stamp with a picture of Barack Obama. The stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged Obama, who demanded a full investigation.
After a month of testing, a special commission presented the following findings:
1) The stamp is in perfect order.
2) There is nothing wrong with the applied adhesive.
3) People are spitting on the wrong side
The New Element
The densest element yet known to science has been discovered. The new element has been named "Obamacronium."
Obamacronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 911.
These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
The symbol for Obamacronium is "O."
Obamacronium's mass actually increases over time, as these morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons in a Obamacronium molecule, forming a large cluster of idiotopes.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Obamacronium is formed whenever morons reach a critical mass also known as "Critical Morass."
When catalyzed with money, Obamacronium activates CNNnewsium, an element radiating several orders of magnitude more energy, mostly as incoherent noise, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
Love this Raymond maybe you should have a job writing speeches for some of these conservative candidates.Keep up the good work look forward to your next writing.
Our new Congress has to find a legislation to control the number of CZARS a president can bring in,,,,they are not elected by American’s and should not be telling our leaders what to do. Too many are in there now and their agenda has nothing to do but destroy this country and turn it into a european nightmare,,,
Raymond: Like your sense of humor. Going to pass this around.
I have been following Herman Cain for quite some time now and suggest that you all do your research and start doing the same. He is a more-than-viable candidate and hits all the issues right on the head. Now don't get me wrong – I NEVER see color; it's the character of the person that's important to me, and always has been. But, wouldn't a black candidate quel all that racism garble and accusation!!!! Then perhaps we could get down to a one-on-one issue anaysis, after which Mr. Cain would certainly come out on top. The Republicans need to put up a candidate that is much stronger than the rerun Romney or any of the others. Do your research – start reading up on Mr. Cain. If you're a true conservative, you'll like him. Can't think of a better candidate (other than, perhaps, the junior Congressman from Florida, Ret. Lt. Col. West).
I cannot imagine why a righteous business man who can make business work, turn around a corporation want to run with Obama who wants to redistribute the wealth of the middle classes to the poor and increase government spending on useless jobs that do not produce wealth but destroy it? The couple seem odd and sort of schitzy to me.
The 2 just do not fit! can anyone explain the strategy?
Belcara,,
You seem to be mistaken about Herman Cain. He is not considering running with Obama, but as a Republican AGAINST him.
Grampatom, Thank you,
You are more clear than the article. Obama and Herman were sort of run together. Seemed like the article joined them together and not til mid-way does it mention Herman as running for president so I guess I did not catch the switch.
Cain would focus on the economy and national security as president. PRESIDENT!
Now I get it. Why not say up front words like "Republican challenger" or … I thought it meant Obama and Herman Cain for Vice President…
Oh well. I am so glad that Mr. Cain is a Republican. He is one I could support once I learn more about him. How strange.. Obama seemed to appear out of nowhere and now Mr. Cain is seemingly stepping up out of nowhere.. I figured all we had going is Hannity, Palin, Newt, and Trump and all of them have been around for some time. I would expect a Congressman or Senator to step forward but not a businessman.
Thanks for the update
Bel
I think you need to re-read the article. As a member of the Tea Party, it is highly doubtful that he would be running "WITH" Odumbo.
Thank you,
I re-read it. The title makes it sound like running mates… Obama off to an early start in his campaign and a new kid on the block to help him.. glad it is not so.
Thanks, Celtic
Bel
You're welcome. It does seem a little confusing!
Get in the game.. Herman is talking about running against the Mulato not with him
Cain wouldn't run with Obama. He'd run against! Read the story again.
I will support Mr. Herman Cain for President of our great Country.
Anytime I’ve heard this man speak it’s always been a conservative talk.
He’s a true Patriot, He believes in, and supports our Constitution, Small Government, Pro-Life, Pro-Small Business, Balanced Budget, Less Taxes, (not sure about this, but believe He wants to do away with the IRS, supporting a fair tax system). To cut this short , any adgestive you may use to the conservative positive , He’s your man.
I would vote for Him, and be proud to call “this man Mr. President”
With all apologies to Herman Cain if Governor Jan Brewer agrees to run in 2012 I will work for Her, donate to her and if not then I will help Col. Allen West as much as possible, America needs a leader with GUTS that understands the threat from both Muslims and Mexican illegals.
Have you ever heard Herman Cain talk? He tells it like it is and doesn’t mince the words! I liked him the first time I ever heard him and he gets better everytime I hear him. We need someone Like Herman Cain, someone who knows what he is talking about! obama knows NOTHING about private enterprise…NOTHING! All he knows how to do is agitate. obama or any of his cronies have never held a REAL job in their lives! They have never had to make a payroll or had anything to do with the running of a business! HUGE mistake people made in voting for obama! I just hope they have learned their lesson and not fall for his teleprompted speeches again. Oh yeah, Herman Cain doesn’t have to use a teleprompter to get his messages out!
The Department of Energy was supposedly to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, To this date it has done diddily squat and has an annual budget in the billions.
We need peopl like Cain or Trump in the office of the president. We also need more business people in Congress. The present & past idiots have proven time & time again, they don't have a clue as to run a business, & that is exactly what the Federal Government is. You don't continue to raise taxes, to support,all of the worthless Government agencies, nor do you keep giving freebees to illegals, nor do you continue to support the United Nations, when over 70% of the members vote against the USA over 70% of the time, nor do you continue to keep giving money to other countries, who hate us, & that is just some of the idiots in Congress have done & continue to do. This has gotten progressively worse, & this last administration is by far the worst of all. WAKE UP PEOPLE !!
I agree we need strength and one that loves this country but Trump is not the man. In my vast experience in the military, Trump is only good in card games
Never, ever, Trump! Obama's ego, although immense, doesn't hold a candle to Trump!
I think you're right.
Thank you.
Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?
Here is a little test that will help you decide.
You're walking down a
deserted street with your wife
and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic
Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner,
locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises
Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you…
You are carrying a
Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family..
What do you do?
Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have “Paint & Weed Day”;
Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
This is all so confusing!

Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy!'

Son: 'Can I ***** the next one?!'
Wife: 'You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist!
this man can speak great but everything he says is a lie I pray people are not dumb enought to believe him again
I would have to say that I do think that PEOPLE are just THAT STUPID! After all, they put Clinton into office TWICE! And they ACTUALLY PUT THIS MORONIC MUSLIME INTO OUR WHITE HOUSE! And, anyone who beleives a word that comes out of those purple lying filthy muslimE lips is a total and absolute fool! And, beleive me, there are still PLENTY OF FOOLS LEFT IN AMERICA! The same fools who have thrown our GOD out of everything, and put in false gods where the ONE AND ONLY REAL ONE SHOULD HAVE REMAINED! Any country who turns on God, is a country DOOMED TO UTTER FAILURE. And plenty of people will refuse to beleive this fact. Read history, and history will tell anyone that what I write is true! I beleive in God, Guns, and Country! And, will continue to beleive this! Unless we as a nation turn our faces back to the GOD who gave us everything we ever had, we as a nation are doomed to repeat this recent failure! A muslimE in our White House, and worse! people ARE that STUPID!
Seems he's starting his "campaigning already" – he loves to campaign but can't rule. What kind of king is that??
I belive in you Mr. Cain.
I'm glad that Herman Cain is exploring his chances to run for president.After all he would be the first true black president not like Clinton the first white negroe or Obuma the Oreo but now the colored people can start fighting about who they will vote for,a true black or a make belive black.All said I will be only to happy to vote for Herman,I like his views and I think he could beat Obummer,the republicans have no ligit candidate.
South Korean cops filed charges against Google Inc. for allegedly collecting information on private citizen thereby breaking Internet privacy laws South Korea, according to a press statement released by the Seoul Police Department.
Google's Seoul office had been raided by police in August 2010 on suspicion of illegally collecting personal information in preparing the local version of its "Street View" mapping services.
The Secret
At a dinner party, several of the guests were arguing whether men or women were more trustworthy. "No woman," said one man, scornfully, "can keep a secret."
"I don't know about that," huffily answered a woman guest. "I have kept my age a secret since I was twenty-one."
"You'll let it out some day," the man insisted.
"I hardly think so!" responded the lady. "When a woman has kept a secret
for twenty-seven years, she can keep it forever."
The Beauty Parlor
"What happened to you?" asked the bystander to the man lying on the sidewalk outside the beauty parlor.
The man shook his head groggily and rubbed his bruised chin. "Last thing I remember was my wife came out of the
beauty salon. I took a look at her and said, 'Well, honey, at least you tried,' and then it was lights out!"
New CEO
The board of directors for a large company, believing it was time for a shake-up, hires a new CEO.
This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers, so on a tour of the facilities during his first day, the CEO notices a guy leaning casually against the wall.
The room is full of workers and he wants to let them all know he means business, and wasting time on the clock is not acceptable.
The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, "And how much money do you make a week?"
A little surprised, the young fellow looks at him and replies, "I make $300.00 a week. Why?"
The CEO reaches into his wallet, hands the guy $1,200 in cash, and screams, "Here's four weeks pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!"
Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here aside from standing around?"
With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, "That guy delivered our pizza."
Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution is one of the most dangerous ideas ever entertained by the Western World.
The idea that the universe, our world, and even life have arisen spontaneously out of nothing removes the need for a Creator. Without a Creator, then, there is no judge of what is right and what is wrong. Ultimately, man himself as the pinnacle of evolution can decide what is right in his own eyes. The Nazis, led by Adolf Hitler, were staunch evolutionists and believed that one "race" of man was more superior than another. This lead to attrocities the world will never forget.
We wonder why we have an epidimic of drug use, school shootings, suicide, and depression among our youth. Could it be that they have been told they are nothing more than evolved pond scum with no real purpose in life?
I do not trust anyone with a background with the Federal Reserve. these people do not have the best interest of America at heart. They have the best interest of the private banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve at heart. We will never get this country back on track with debt which is what "the Fed" is trying to tell us. We as a nation can not continue to use debt to control debt. Debt is debt and can never be anything other than debt no matter how hard we try to ignore this fact. Until congress takes back it constitutionally mandated power to issue currency the problem will only get worse as time goes on. Since 1913 when congress deligated its responsibility to issue currency to "the Fed" this private banking cartel has oversaw the destruction of the value of the dollar. What used to cost ten cents now costs two dollars.
Odrama never stopped campaigning and never started governing. As for Herman Cain, I'd rather see him as chairman of the Fed and Allen West as the Tea Party candidate for President. Republicans in both houses of Congress must soon realize that they must embrace the Tea Party agenda as a means to an end for reclaiming the American Dream and leave the current nightmare behind.
