Obama and his never-ending campaign
By Bob Minchin | Apr. 7, 2011It’s official. On Monday, President Obama released a Web video that formally kicked off his re-election campaign for 2012.

You place your order, and because you have an unlimited meal plan, you hand the cashier your meal card. When you get your sandwich, the cashier demands that you pay for it again using your debit card. When your tuition bill comes due, you see that the price of the sandwich was added to your statement, forcing you to pay for it a third time.
