President Obama To Hire Jay-Z For 2012 Campaign?

With the next election quickly approaching in 2012, the Obama camp is strategizing for re-election. According to the New York Post‘s “Page Six” column, they are considering using Jay-Z to reach the youth and minority voters.

“I can’t believe you’ve finally heard the chatter about him replacing Larry Summers,” Deputy White House Press Secretary William Burton told the Post. “In all seriousness, keep in mind he was pretty active during the 2008 election, so I don’t think it’d surprise anyone that he would be involved again. But it’s a little premature.”

The 2012 Presidential election will be held on November 6, 2012.

In light of the recent events that have been taking place in our country such rising gas prices due to wall st. speculation, the attack on the middle class by Wisconsin republicans, and the disenfranchisement of the vulnerable in the name of fiscal responsibility, I have realized that who we elect to office is extremely, EXTREMELY important. Making music is something I have been working on for many years and I think I can make a huge contribution by using my musical skills to support positive progressive change in this country. I don't mean to offend anyone with my political views but I am a democrat and I will support Barack Obama in 2012. If you also support Obama for re-election in 2012, I would encourage you to distribute this video link to as many people as you can. Sure it would benefit me because I made the song, but it could also benefit the nation by helping re-elect the same president who brought us the Affordable Care Act, withdrew the majority of our troops from Iraq and is not a puppet for the rich and powerful. If you're with me and you like the song, pass it along: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlX2N4UwADU I would appreciate it and I think your president would too. -Richard Maye

This tactical approach if it is well orchestrated might be a contributing factor that will help president Obama reelected. Future generations and history will rate him among the greatest if not the greatest American President. I saw that some misguided people on this blog who tired to blame him for the current problem he inherited from his predecessors such as: -> Iraq War -> Afghanistan war. -> Mistreatment of civilians and prisoners of war. -> The worst economic crisis since the depression. -> An unprecedented financial deficit. caused by his predecessor. -> Exorbitant cost for health care system and dangerous gap in its delivery system. -> Serious environmental concern. -> US Children fall behind the Asian,European in reading,mathematics,science etc.. etc. Thus,reform on those areas are badly needed. President Obama is trying to address and redress the above royal mess despite of machination and stiff opposition from his political opponents. Supporting Obama is tantamount to guarantee a better and brighter future for our youth and future generations.

you do know the democrats have been incharge since 2007 really when they got sworn in after the last mid-term. Under the democratic watch unemployment has gone to record levels. all the debt accumilated from Washington to Bush was tripled in the year and half Obama was in office. they managed to spend more money than the previous 43 president combined and have nothing to show for it. Incase you didnt know America was attacked in 2001 and that would be the cause of the wars. not just "hey lets start a war". the prisoner thing is of no concern to any president so it thats a moot point. these enviromental concerns have been proven to be false and there really as no such thing as human induced global warming. so that again that isnt anyones fault. Health care costs have SKYROCKETED since Obamacare has been approved and will continue to increase. So again there goes your theory on that one. this stiff opposition you're talking about is coming from within his own party. Again the Dems have been incharge of both houses since the 06 midterms, and all three houses since 08. Who do you think is going to have to pay for all of this wreckless spending the democrats are currently doing? not the old folks, its going to this younger generation who you say its supposedlly all benefitting.

What I dont get is, how the majority of black people can still think he's doing a great job? Unemployment has skyrocketed under his watch, espescially black people being unemployed. and they still sit around sucking him off like they're dating or some shit. talking about drinking the kool-aid. even hispanics and ALL of the independents that supported him and got him into office are seeing whats really happening.
