Obama plans to spend 1 billion on his campaign, way to responsible

Obama announced on his website that he would be starting his campaign for re-election.  This is earlier than what is usually done by incumbent presidents.  President Obama is starting to raise money for his campaign so early because he wants to raise a record breaking 1 billion dollars for the 2012 elections.  If he accomplishes his goal, this will be the largest amount of money anyone has ever raised for an  election campaign.  As a concerned citizen I was outraged when I heard of this for several reasons.  First off and most importantly America is coming out of a huge recession and we need a strong leader who can help guide us through this recession.  Obama’s job is to run the country not be trying to get re-elected already.  If a president is doing a good job of running the country than people will want to re-elect him.  By the fact that he is starting his campaign so early, I feel it is a strong sign that he is not doing a good job of being our president.  This just goes to show that the only thing Obama thinks he does well is marketing.  Secondly, America is terribly in debt and people are hurting from this recession.  The last thing America needs is their president to be breaking records on the amount of money he is spending on his campaign.  He should be practicing being fiscally conservative because that is what the American people need.  It show that he is not fiscally responsible when it comes to money.  Cares about being re-elected more than helping America.  I feel this is not the right move for Obama to be making and it is very irresponsible, but I am only one US citizen.  Let me know what you think.  Leave a comment.
