(KUNA) -- US President Barack B.O. Obama's senior adviser David Axelrod said on Sunday that he will leave the White House as soon as late winter to work on Obamas reelection campaign in 2012.
"Sometime in the spring, in the late winter early spring, I will be going back to Chicago and beginning to work on that project," noted Axelrod during an interview on Fox News Sunday but hinted that the political landscape in the presidential elections in 2012 would be different than the midterm congressional elections thid year when Republicans took control of Congress.
"We are going to have a whole different situation come 2012, two years is an eternity," he added.
Axelrod affirmed that the White House and the Democratic party have to focus on the problems that people are most concerned about and that concern the future of this country.
"If we fail to do that, if we fail or if the Republicans in Congress fail to do that, then I think each of us will pay a price for that," he concluded.

You mean he hasn't been campaigning yet? Sunnovavitch.
Had to endure daytime tv stuff today. It has been interesting to see which still support the president and which are pushing hillary! and its not just the news-style entertainers but also some others, one show described Mrs. Obama's outfit style as "Preppy", another has had a picture of Hillary! in a not very flattering way and I mean bad.
[Iran Press TV] Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has kicked off his election campaign to become the mayor of his hometown of Chicago.
Emanuel resigned as Obama's chief of staff last month with the purpose of running for mayor of Chicago.
"Only the opportunity to help President B.O. as his chief of staff could have pried me away from here. And only the opportunity to lead this city could have pried me away from the president's side," he said on Saturday.
Emanuel has promised to help create jobs, improve education and reduce crime so far in his election campaign.
"When it comes to balancing the city budget... all residents of this city will have to share in the sacrifices and necessary changes... I want to fight for a better future for all the people of Chicago," he added.
The 50-year-old former Democratic congressman formally announced his candidacy on November 13, in Chicago, Illinois.
Emanuel will have to fight to succeed Richard Daley, a political heavyweight on the Chicago scene who has been the city's mayor for more than two decades.
Veteran Illinois congressman Daniel Davis, Democratic senator James Meeks, former Chicago education board president Gery Chico, and former Democratic senator Carol Moseley Braun, who is the only African American woman to have ever been elected to the US Senate, are also expected to run.

If Braun stays out Danny Davis (who announced yesterday) has a real chance. He'll corner the black vote; that's 40% of the total right there. He's been a congress-critter forever and is well known to the voters.
If Braun jumps in they'll split the black vote and Rahm wins in a walk. Chico and Meeks are non-factors.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
