Obama's campaign roll out, even if it's unofficial, is pitch perfect...

They've got some smart people out there in Chicago.

The last three days, Obama has hit three crucial swing states (NC, CO, IA) to discuss an issue that will rally the youth support. He stopped by Jimmy Kimmel for a moment that is mostly being praised by the media and is getting a ton of LOCAL press because of his stops.

Oh, and it doesn't hurt to have crowds like this:

North Carolina:



Colorado:



Iowa:



Large crowds. Energized college kids - you can't ask for a better start to the official 2012 campaign. Perception is reality in politics. Well this perception will do wonders for Obama. Can't wait for official rallies later next month! Romney won't know what hit him.

...maybe plan voting parties - and make sure they all have the right ID.

He's not Rmoney?

Or he wants additional low-interest student loans?

Or he wants to bring jobs back to America?

Whatever it is, those college kids can be assured that he really means it this time.
