In order for a contest to not be considered an illegal lottery, there are three important words that must appear: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

There are three components to an illegal lottery: chance, consideration, and a prize. If only two elements exist, you have a perfectly legal contest. If all three exist, you are breaking federal gambling laws!

I'll break down each piece:

Chance: If a contest is not skill-based, it falls into the category of chance.
Consideration: This basically means an entry fee. If there is a cost to enter the contest, then consideration exists. A postage stamp, for example, is not consideration. Requiring the customer to purchase a product, on the other hand, is a good example of consideration.
Prize: Without a prize you probably wouldn't have a contest.

Again, the president of the united states of chicago is entering gangland tactics, at his whim, to satisfy his primordal urge for power.

I think you are correct. Regardless, this scumbag has made a joke out of the office of President. The Obama’s make ponzi scheme types look like minor league.
