Obama will have a new reelection strategy to win in 2012, a popular strategy to give every American a fair play and a fair share of prosperity and economic opportunities and possibilities in life. This is the same strategy of Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, 100 years ago.

Forget Hope. Obama Has A New Strategy For 2012

Some excerpts
President Barack Obama travels to Osawatomie, Kansas on Monday to outline his vision for America — and with it, comes the most revealing glimpse yet at his reelection strategy.
Gone is the message of hope and change — instead Obama is reaching 100 years back in time for a message that will resonate with the American people.
The new theme: "everyone engages in fair play, everyone does their fair share, and everyone gets a fair shot."
In a word: Fairness.
It's a throwback to President Theodore Roosevelt, who offered the same vision for America in Osawatomie back in 1910 as he was preparing to launch another bid for the White House in 1912. His message in that speech, which he termed "New Nationalism," became the central focus of his presidential campaign on the ticket of the Progressive (Bull Moose) Party.
Asked whether Obama's Tuesday speech will lay the intellectual foundation for his reelection campaign, Obama spokesman Josh Earnest did not respond, but offered cagily that the new message "is a pretty succinct version of the president's vision for America."
"The president will draw on the legacy of [Roosevelt's] themes, and put them in the context of where the economy and American families are right now," Earnest added.
