THE ISSUE: President Obama’s launch of his campaign for re-election in 2012.
***
President Obama’s decision to move Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s trial to Gitmo and his announcement of his re-election drive came on the same day (“O Launches Re-elex Bid,” April 5).
Whatever the administration says, it’s all about the 2012 election. Every decision for the next two years will be about making Obama look good.

So Obama is running again, but on what? Every one of his policies, domestic and foreign, has been bad for America: ObamaCare and the bankrupting of the country, to name two.
He took the heart and spirit out of our country and is the most polarizing president ever. Everyone in his administration is unqualified.
He’ll lose the debates no matter who the Republicans put up, because any one of them will show America again what a patriot is.

The president is campaigning again. Did he ever stop campaigning?
What “hope and change” can we expect this time? Will he still want to transform America? Most Americans are happy with the America we know.
Boring speeches and the “I’m right, you’re wrong” attitude just don’t cut it any more.

Our community-organizer president has fired up his re-election campaign as our country continues to sink under his administration.
Wake up, New Yorkers, and take a closer look at the ideology of this president.
He throws Israel under the bus and has multiplied spending.
Obama, Chuck Schumer, Anthony Weiner, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid fiddle, as America sinks into the abyss. Four more years of Obama will finish off our republic, count on it.

It’s not surprising that the president has started his re-election campaign. The only thing he’s good at is running for office.
The problem comes when Obama does get elected. His entire political career consists of running for office, getting elected and then immediately running for the next rung up the political ladder.
After being elected to the top rung and accomplishing nothing other than the almost total destruction of this country, he’s probably been looking forward to this day for over two years.
Let’s hope that the majority of this nation’s citizens have been paying attention, because as far as I’m concerned, he should lose to a rock.
