In a widely expected move, US President Barack Obama has officially announced his intention to run for a second term in office in 2012.

The Obama team has released a video on his official website and sent an e-mail to supporters announcing his plans, saying the campaign would start small and grow over time, "with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers, and friends."

"So even though I'm focused on the job you elected me to do, and the race may not reach full speed for a year or more, the work of laying the foundation for our campaign must start today," the email reads.

The President has an online network of millions of Americans with nearly 18 million supporters on Facebook.

Obama's election campaign team are set to file election papers later this week.

Presenting a new look for Obama's campaign website, the team told supporters: "The idea is to improve upon what's worked for the past four years, scrap what hasn't, and build a campaign that reflects the thoughts and experiences of the supporters who've powered this movement."

The names of his adversaries remain unknown with Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, being the only leading candidate to have formally declared his candidacy.
