From the Daily Mail:
Barack Obama has already held more re-election fundraising events than every elected president since Richard Nixon combined, according to figures to be published in a new book.And done less to deserve re-election than any of his predecessors!
Obama is also the only president in the past 35 years to visit every electoral battleground state in his first year of office.
The figures, contained a in a new book called The Rise of the President’s Permanent Campaign by Brendan J. Doherty, due to be published by University Press of Kansas in July, give statistical backing to the notion that Obama is more preoccupied with being re-elected than any other commander-in-chief of modern times.
UPDATE: Dana Milbank writing in the Washington Post plays off Obama's television appearance with Jimmy Fallon saying this about Obama's perpetual campaign: "The preezy of the United Steezy is making me queasy.... preezy is making me queasy because his nonstop campaigning is looking, well, sleazy"
