Credit: Reuters/Jim Young By Jeff Mason WASHINGTON | Wed Apr 20, 2011 4:51pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama takes early steps on Wednesday to recapture the magic of his exuberant 2008 campaign on a West Coast swing that starts at the nexus of social communications, Facebook headquarters. Democrats acknowledge that Obama will need to rally many of the same forces that propelled him into the White House in order to win re-election in 2012: an army of young, energetic voters as well as a sizable showing from independent voters. By visiting Facebook headquarters in California's Silicon Valley, where Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is a folk hero, Obama seeks to connect to tens of millions of people who have adopted social media as a prime method of communications. Obama is to hold a Facebook town-hall session on ways to reduce the $1.4 trillion U.S. budget deficit at the company's offices in Palo Alto, California, before moving on to San Francisco for Democratic fund-raising events. He plans stops in Las Vegas and Los Angeles before returning to Washington on Friday. Jon Krosnick, a political science professor at Stanford University, said having Obama on stage with Zuckerberg could benefit the president with young people. "That alone is a way of trying to re-energize this young generation that might be crucial for him to be re-elected again," Krosnick said. Obama embarks on a deficit-cutting roadshow as policy- makers and financial markets recover from ratings agency Standard & Poor's threat to downgrade America's triple-A credit rating on worries Washington won't address its fiscal woes. A potential Republican challenger to Obama, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, said S&P "downgraded the Obama presidency" and that Obama should meet with S&P officials to try to gain their confidence. "This is not something to be laughed off as the president's people seem to be doing," Romney told KCBQ's "The Mark Larson Show" in San Diego, California. By focusing on the economy at events in two politically important states, the president hopes to engage on an issue that his future opponents are likely to exploit as a political weakness. DEEPENING ECONOMIC PESSIMISM It is early in the 2012 election cycle, but clearly Obama has much work ahead. An ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Tuesday showed Obama's approval ratings near record lows because of deepening economic pessimism among Americans. Ipsos pollster Cliff Young said rising gasoline prices are taking their toll but that they probably did not present a long-term problem for Obama. "He is the odds-on favorite for a variety of reasons, primarily because he is an incumbent. His numbers are not that bad," said Young. Obama is using the first steps on the road to 2012 to promote a budget ideology that is at odds with the fiscal views of Republicans who are planning presidential campaigns. 1 2 Next Politics Technology Facebook Barack Obama Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.

He traded that for a one year extension of unemployment benefits, not a great deal for the middle class. The REpublicans are on the wrong side of this issue and if they keep defending their wealthy benefactors and oligarchs they will pay dearly for this stance in the 2012 elections.
