President Barack Obama has chosen "the bright lights of Broadway" to raise funds that will help his reelection bid for 2012. The Chief Executive has three fundraising events in Manhattan, including a pit stop at Broadway.

Obama didn’t waste any time addressing his supporters on Broadway stage calling for support for the Democratic Party and another shot at Presidential elections next year.

The supporters for President Obama bought $100 per ticket to watch the musical performance “Sister Act”. The Associated Press is reporting that the president’s key fundraisers were asked to contribute an estimated $60 million by the end of this month.

But before he got down to fundraising trip, the President made a short stop at the military base in New York. The President explained his latest move to send 33,000 more troops to Afghanistan by September next year to audience at the Fort Drum.

It was only in New York City when the President had again called on to his supporters to relive the intense campaign they had given him in 2008 making him America’s 46th President.

Noting that he may now be an ‘old news’, President Obama, who was favorably received by media during his first presidential campaign, has again expressed his interest to run the economic-crisis--laden America. And he knew he could do this with the same support he had in his first run.

"I know that it's not going to be exactly the same as when I was young and vibrant and new," the president said during a high-dollar dinner at New York restaurant Thursday, according to the Associated Press.
