President Barack Obama turned his 50th birthday into a 2012 campaign fundraising bonanza, buoyed by a hometown crowd after what he called a frustrating period locked in a debt battle with Republicans.

Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson worked up the crowd to welcome Obama, where large banners saying 2012 - in virtually the same design as that of his 2008 campaign - hung by the stage.
