In other reelection news, President Obama also recently said he plans to win the 2012 presidential debate. “And whoever the Republican nominee is” he said at a news conference. “We’re going to have a big, serious debate about what we believe is the right way to guide America forward and to win the future.”

Good luck President Obama!
