News and information about President Barack Obama, his administration, policies and 2012 campaign for reelection

Some guidelines:

-Please message the moderators with a permalink to the comment section of any submissions you make that do not immediately appear in the new queue. The site's spam filter often holds back legitimate submissions.

-This subreddit is not a catch-all category for submissions that are critical of the federal government or American hegemony in general. Stories that do not directly pertain to Obama or the election will be removed.

-While we welcome debate, stories and comments that are unabashedly racist and/or demonstrably false and designed to spread misinformation during election years (e.g., "Monkey Obama continues to refuse to release his birth certificate in light of new proof he we was born in Kenya") will be removed, and are grounds for an instant ban.

Please message the moderators with reports of infractions, and include a permalink to the post. Your reason for filing a report should be stated in the message. It should be noted that reports are for spam, clearly irrelevant posts and demonstrable misinformation or racism; opinions rooted in fact (however unpopular they may be) should be judged by popular vote.
