Obama for Reelection

Alright guys this is kind of old news, but it's been a while and I figured I would fill you in. President Obama announced last week that he would be running for reelection in the upcoming election of 2012. This has been expected for a while, but now it's official. This move will allow him to begin raising funds twenty months before the election, and money is important. Not really much to say right now, but we know who the Democratic candidate is and we'll see how this election turns out.

Bill Clinton Butts Into Chicago Mayoral Race

Bill Clinton decided to put his support behind ex-Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for the Chicago mayoral face. Democratic Representative Danny Davis, a former supporter of Clinton, told the former president to leave the race alone. Davis is an African-American and said that Clinton would fracture his relationship with the entire black community of Chicago should he decide to continue to push for the other candidate. While I agree that Clinton has no place in supporting one candidate over another in Chicago's mayoral race, I also don't see why Davis had to bring race into the argument. Clinton shouldn't be supporting anybody for this campaign regardless of race, but I don't think the former president took race into consideration when choosing to support Emanuel. It was inconsiderate and pretty egotistic of Clinton to insert himself into this campaign, but pretty ignorant on Davis' part to even mention race.
