Obama Announces Re-Election Bid Today w/ Online YouTube Video

By

President Barack Obama launched his 2012 reelection campaign on Monday morning with a video testimonial from voters posted on his website and an email to supporters, echoing his innovative and oft-copied 2008 kickoff. The two-minute clip features a series of interviews with voters from around the country explaining why they plan to support the president. It doesnt include Obamas voice or any new film footage of him. But it was quickly followed by an Obama email in which the president explained the early start to the campaign. It looks like the internet has fully come to age! It will be interesting to see how the others announce their run for presidency now that Obama started out online.

Were doing this now because the politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, but with you with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers, and friends, Obama writes, explaining why the launch is coming more than 19 months before Election Day.
