Who will be Obama’s opponent?
Although only the Democrats have a candidate, the 2012 U.S. presidential elections can be considered launched.
While the Republicans haven't decided on who their candidate will be, 44th President of the United States Barack Obama plans on being re-elected.
Obama announced that he was going to run for president again and start his campaign for the 2012 presidential elections on Monday on his website.
"We're starting the campaign, opening our offices and starting to reach out to our supporters like you. You will help us find the road to victory," as stated on the website.
"It all starts from the beginning." This is Obama's first slogan. The website also offers shirts supporting Obama during the 2012 presidential elections.
The early launch of the campaign has caught the eye of the Washington Post, which links the early campaign to the amount that Obama hopes to collect from supporters for his campaign.
The fundraiser is set to launch on April 14 in Obama's hometown Chicago where he has his main headquarters. There will also be similar events in other large cities.
American experts say this time Obama's headquarters may collect over a billion dollars compared to the 750 million dollars collected during the 2008 presidential elections.
The Republicans still have to determine who their candidate will be and that will take a long time. Governor of Minnesota Tim Palanty, former Senate speaker Newt Gingrich and Alaska's former governor Sarah Palin have expressed the desire to run for president.
Experts are currently having a hard time predicting who Obama's opponent will be.
The U.S. presidential elections will take place in November 2012.
