(Newser) – Despite some people advising him not to, it appears President Obama is officially running for reelection in 2012. David Axelrod told Fox News Sunday he will leave the White House next year to begin work on the campaign, USA Today reports. “Sometime in the spring, late winter, early spring, I'll be going back—coming back here—to Chicago and beginning to work on that project,” he said.

Maybe Axelrod will do what he did in 2008 that was a success. I hope so because I have seen some of the good that the President has done thus far and maybe losing the House of Representative will put some FIGHT in him that I feel is there. He has a lot of nutjobs going into Congress next year.

If Axelrod does the same job for "Obama 2012" as he did as an advisor,well,let's here it for the next President of the United States,NOT Obama.

 
Barack Obama • David Axelrod • re-election • Election 2012 • President Obama • 2012 Presidential Candidates • Obama 2012
