President Obama still has six months before the election -- six months of intense campaigning and fundraising. America should not expect much governing from President Obama in these final six months before the 2012 election because Obama's history indicates he will spend it on the campaign trail and not in the White House.The figures, from a forthcoming book, give statistical backing to the notion that Obama is more preoccupied with being re-elected than any other commander-in-chief of modern times.

Obama needs to campaign a lot to win re-election

He can't rest on his laurels of good job performance so he is going to do the best he can to make the other guy look worse than he was.

Campaign Finance Reform should limit incumbent president

He is receiving money from arab countries and loves money as you see what he charges for these fund raisers! We stll don't know where he got all the money on his first run and NOBODY in our government wants to hold him ACCOUNTABLE!

He needs to spend less time campaigning and more time trying to fix the economy; the country can’t afford not having any leadership for the next 7 months. Oh wait, we haven’t had that in the last 3+ years.

Practically all he does is campaign, he sure as hell has not done a good job as President.

Obama needs to spend less time campaigning

Wasting tax payers money is something both he and his woman are really good at. He needs to get re-elected so his woman can see the rest of the world on our dime

Look! This man is President in name only. In reality he is a gang-banger street thug in a suit. I hate that he is campaigning on our money, and in my own mind I don't think he needs to campaign. An honest election he will lose no matter how he campaigns. A dishonest election he will win no matter how he campaigns.

That is only the official campaigning it does not take into account the unofficial campaigning like his bus tour and correspondent dinner.

I got the feeling he continued campaigning for about 8 months into his Presidency. Then tried being President and it just went terribly wrong. It does appear he has been campaigning at about 80% of the time for the last 3 months and now pretty much he is just 100% campaigning.
I think he knows he needs it. He needs to campaign like a mad-man from now on and then double it. Then double it again. He is not only in danger of losing the next election but possibly seeing Democrats in general suffers losses everywhere.

he needs to keep telling people how great he is so they don't forget between unemployment checks.

Besides, the more time he is on the road campaigning, the less time he has to screw things up worse in DC
