Much of Obama’s speechifying and rhetoric is from dusted off speeches of 2008. If one didn't know different, they would think Candidate Obama is running against the Incumbent-in-the-White-House.
The trouble is, most of what 2008 Obama ran against and blamed on Bush2, Incumbent Obama did and did even worse.
Incumbent Obama in 4 years outspent Bush's 8 years. Incumbent Obama has increased poverty, put more people on food stamps, caused more people to lose their jobs [unemployment is higher today than when Obama took office], lost $billions in green energy companies, stole over $700 billion from Medicare to pay for part of Obamacare, etc.
Campaign 2012 Obama is running against Incumbent 2008 Obama. He is losing and wants revenge against Romney, binders, and Big Bird. Obama has to blame someone or something; that is his history, his behavioral pattern.
If Campaign 2012 Obama would open his eyes and see what major mess the next president is going to inherit from Incumbent 2008 Obama, Campaign 2012 Obama take off for Hawaii even before the election.
The middle class has been "buried these last four years" … but I always say what I mean!
