Obama breaks from the pack and tosses hat in ring for White House:

Surprise, surprise, President Obama announced today that he'll run for re-election, casting aside all doubts that he might follow in LBJ's footsteps and abandon ship.

Okay, so the only surprise is that he beat all those presidential wishy-washies on the right who are still "testing the waters," like Sarah-baby of "I can't make it through 4 years as Alaska's governor" fame. (She won't run anyway. She's making too much money profilin' from the sidelines, where you don't gotta do no face to face with opposition.)

Zack Whittacker, a ZiffDavis blogger, explains why Obama's gonna keep the key to the fancy place on Pennsylvania Ave. It's high tech, or Facebook.
