Obama Tells Voters: Remember Bush Sees election referendum on vision for 'change'
"As November approaches, leaders in the other party will campaign furiously on the same economic argument they've been making for decades," Mr. Obama said. "We already know where their ideas led us. And now we have a choice as a nation. We can return to the failed economic policies of the past, or we can keep building a stronger future."

With his party's poll numbers flagging and crises testing his own leadership, President Obama said Wednesday that November's elections will amount to a referendum on whether voters want to go back to the policies of the Bush administration or stick with his vision of change.
In a starkly political speech at Carnegie Mellon University, Mr. Obama patted Democrats on the back for supporting his stimulus bill and other policies he said are leading to a recovery - while Republicans "sat on the sidelines and shouted from the bleachers."
Touting positive signs of an economic recovery, he also tried to rally core Democratic voters ahead of the election by reminding them how angry they were at his predecessor, President George W. Bush - a key factor in what some analysts expect to be a base-turnout election.
"As November approaches, leaders in the other party will campaign furiously on the same economic argument they've been making for decades," Mr. Obama said. "We already know where their ideas led us. And now we have a choice as a nation. We can return to the failed economic policies of the past, or we can keep building a stronger future."
Analysts described Mr. Obama's lengthy remarks, in which he repeatedly accused Republicans of political maneuvering, as a declaration of the White House's strategy heading into November.

Why does our President sound suspiciously like Baghdad Bob?
Can we run against Bush and blame him for everything, forever?
Yes we can!
I just HATED the 5% unemployment under Bush. And feeling safe from terrorist attacks.
Me?
I miss the Bush crew. Financially our future prospects were far superior than the debt that is overtaking and destroying America!
Let alone the new racism injected by the divisive muslim marxist.
It’s mind boggling how anyone can even print this stuff! And even more mind boggling that there are those that believe it.
How come Michael Steele isn’t countering this crap? The RNC Chairman is just pathetic.
What about the failed economic policies of NOW?
Are you frickin' kidding? What about where YOUR ideas are leading us? Straight off a damn cliff. Go to hell. You're going to be dealt a major blow here in a few months. Enjoy having a majority, because it's going bye-bye.
Enjoy impeachment, Barry.
I am remembering Bush.
Fondly.
Wow! O’dumbass is really something isn’t he? Everyone I know that voted on this hope and change idiot really feels bad about getting caught up in the hype and voting with the media farce. Too late idiots, your vote has already been counted and we are stuck with you uninformed sheep’s ignorance and we have a communist running our country. Thanks.
He is to busy being black and in charge ... sound familiar?
The ultimate waste of time ever devised is listening to ANYTHING mac daddy has to say about ANYTHING.
MOVING LIPS = WORTHLESS WORDS
Fondly.
I will go you one farther I am remembering President Bush passionately.
And several times, I might add.
Cordially,
LOL, loved it!
