Obama victory in 2012: “I’m still not George Bush.”
Running against Bush won't work this time around.
First Bush is nowhere to be seen.
Second, If we take any economic category, Bush's worst month is still better than Obama's best month.
This is a pretty easy theme to get across to the American public.
I can visualize a commercial with Obama's pronouncements on the economy, with the word excuses overlaid and contrasted with the Republican candidates plans, with the word solutions overlaid.
