The Best Photos of the Entire Presidential Campaign
Presidential campaigns are about policies, interest groups, slogans, personalities and, to the chagrin of very serious people, images. But there were some amazing photos taken during the 2012 election — candidates campaigning in tough conditions from fried food fests to pouring rain, of funny faces, of candidate confrontations, and of devoted spouses.

Jay-Z performed at an Obama rally in Columbus, OH today.
View Larger What can be said without equivocation is that Obama has proven himself morally, intellectually, temperamentally, and strategically. In my lifetime, or my parents’, he is easily the best president. On his own terms, and not merely as a contrast to an unacceptable alternative, he overwhelmingly deserves reelection.
from Jonathan Chait, at New York Magazine.
Tomorrow, show Barack you want 4 more years. VOTE!
Bloomberg endorses Obama, and climate change is a major reason:
We need leadership from the White House – and over the past four years, President Barack Obama has taken major steps to reduce our carbon consumption, including setting higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars and trucks.
View Larger Mike, from Los Angeles, had a question for U.S. President Barack Obama. And as it was read aloud on Wednesday, by Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, it sounded like it could have come from any desperate corner in Canada: “Can you pull some strings to end the NHL lockout?”
Obama, whose arms had been crossed before the question, began to point a finger as he started to answer.
“You know, I do have a comment on this,” he said. “Every time these things happen, I just want to remind the owners and the players: You guys make money because you’ve got a whole bunch of fans out there who are working really hard.”
Can the President end the NHL lockout? Ehh who cares.
You mention the Navy, for example. You say we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military has changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers… planes land on them… we have ships that go underwater, called nuclear submarines…
