Obama's 2012 campaign headquarters will be in Chicago, and even though a formal kickoff is set for March or April, putting together a fundraising apparatus at this stage is crucial. Traveling with Messina is Democratic National Committee Finance Director Rufus Gifford, who will likely to be the finance director of the 2012 campaign.Obama is changing course, thankfully. He is getting it. If he wants the working and middle class to come back to the party, he is going to have to start implementing policies that help us, rather than the monied elite. That means penalizing companies that outsource, and rewarding those that create jobs here. That means fully enforcing our immigration laws with no amnesty in any form.
That means reigning in Wall Street. Let's hope he does it.
January 2011 - 187,000 jobs added. Just last night the Nightly Business Report said that the Dow is soaring because our manufacturing sector is at a six year high. They also report weekly where the jobs are being created -One has to acknowledge that President Obama and his administration and legislation is indeed working. THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA

If you politicans can not afford to run with your money then you should not run.
If you want to play, then you need to pay or stay the hell away.

Jim Messina is going to have to do a lot more than hit the road! Hitting the road worked last time around. This time...WE WANT CHANGE THAT WE REALLY CAN BELIEVE IN...and we haven't had it. So hitting the road, and saying all the things that people want to hear won't make it in 2012! People are disgusted,they feel betrayed, and they're not going to be patient with Jim...or any of Obama's other campaign czars. Words are cheap...always have been. Sometimes they make you feel good...and that's enough. This time, Americans will not accept political rhetoric. They want the real thing. Obama...put your money where your mouth is. Tell the truth. Get real. And PLEASE stop assuming that your countrymen are stupid. Give it up. Please let someone competent take over. Just do what you told Mubarack to do! You just aren't sustainable.
