It's official, President Barack Obama will run for re-election in 2012. The president's intention to seek another term was announced in a video sent to supporters via email and text message on Monday. Over the weekend, multiple outlets reported that the launch of Obama's re-election campaign was imminent.

With a short video on BarackObama.com, president Obama launched his bid for re-election. Using what apparently will be one of his campaign slogans, "It begins with us," the campaign has told supporters that the kickoff of the campaign has started and that means the race for contributions is on.

The familiar-looking blue "O" over red and white stripes is back again for 2012. And at the bottom of the website, the candidates' names are clearly identified: OBAMA-BIDEN—for Vice President Joe Biden.
