The Obama campaign will look to pump up the crowds this weekend by reminding them just how bad things were when Barack Obama took office in 2009, in a move to blunt opponents’ recent attacks on his economic record.
A new campaign video called “Forward,” which will play at the start of campaign rallies, begins with a recounting of the nation’s dire economic straits in 2008—job losses, housing meltdown, falling stock market. “On the day Barack Obama took office, America had already lost 4.4 million jobs,” the narrator says.
The video’s central argument: Mr. Obama’s policies turned things around, including the 2009 economic stimulus plan and the decision to bail out two U.S. auto companies, among a long list of other accomplishments outlined. “Now instead of losing jobs, we’re gaining them,” the narrator says. “While there’s still more to do, there’s been real progress.”

Talk about suspension of disbelief!
Mr. Obama, essentially. drilled a hole in the bottom of our economy to let the money out quicker.
The man is a tool.

Wow. He really is that desperate... He literally has nothing to run on...
I don’t think anyone in the country, save the 35% hardcore libs, will fall for this...most people will see this for what it is...assigning blame instead of assuming responsibility for what he did as our “leader.”
He might actually lose...
Unlike 2008 the Kenyan now has a record. The new campaign video should be called "Forewarned".
If Obama would just dump Biden and name Jon Corzine as his VP running mate at least he would be ‘honest’ regarding his administration’s corruptness. (IMHO, I believe Corzine should be mentioned every time Obama is referenced in any way, you know like ‘the administration of Obamazine or Corbama’)
I like it !
Not even an original idea. He stole it from MSNBC. Lean Forward.
Bwwwaaaaaa!!!!
Obama killed Osama. Give him 4 more years.
To which the conservative response should be a campaign called “Answers, not Excuses.”
Obama will have to demand another increase in the National Debt sometime this year! Yippee!!! Obama is No. 1!
Obama is the cause of America's Credit Down Grade. That never happened in the last 112 years. Yippee! Obama is No. 1!!!!
Obama said he WOULD TRANSFORM AMERICA! And he did! He should be proud. It must be great leading from the rear.
My fellow Dummycrates, America has its own Mugabe and you elected him! Well done Dummycrats! Well done Obama! Obama, you are EPIC FAIL. You are not only Un-American (eating dogs and bragging about to show off you worldliness) you are Anti-American as well. Too bad Dummycrats are so stupid they will vote for you once again.
SLOWEST ...... RECOVERY ..... EVER!!!!
The Worst Economic Recovery in History
Since the second half of 2009, the U.S. economy has grown at a rate of 2.4%, a full percentage point below average long-term growth.

I’d frame it this way.
Bush set the Go Get Bin Laden policy that Obama fought against tooth and nail. Once in office, Obama just followed through with that hated Bush Policy. Remember Obama after many months begrudgingly, allowed the Navy SEALs to do what Bush had wanted them to do, Get Bin Laden.
