Do you think a billion dollars will buy more hopeless change and hellthcare...?
US President Barack Obama has declared himself a candidate for re-election in 2012, jumping ahead of a slow-starting Republican field and hoping an economic recovery will boost his case for a new term.
Obama's announcement, made through an email and video sent to supporters, set in motion a plan to tap donors and raise as much as US$1 billion (NZ$1.3b), which would shatter the US$750 million (NZ$977m) campaign finance record he set in 2008.
