OK, the good news is that the rambling disaster that was the Bush administration is out of office. That alone is good news and there's no question that Obama inherited a shitty fucking mess not of his own creation. Obama has also done a creditable job of averting complete and total fucking disaster. Don't know about ya'll but I didn't vote for Obama on the idea that trading off a great recession beats the hell out of a great depression.
Those are good things but their not gonna get him re-elected. Basing his re-elections hopes on Republicans nominating a completely unelectable conservative ideologue probably isn't such a wise idea...after all.....if a Republican establishment moderate like Romney earns the nomination, which seems likely, then Obama will have dug a big assed hole.
Obama needs to forget about the past and start moving forward. If he tries selling people on the idea that he's pulled us out of the ditch that republicans drove us into well that aint gonna sell because for far to many people were still in the ditch that Republicans drove us into and bragging about having kept that ditch from getting deeper, even though true, aint gonna sell. He's expected to get us out of the ditch.
Obama needs to stop justifying the past actions of his administration. He needs to create a more optimistic message and he needs to create a forward looking message and plan to grow the economy. Cause if he doesn't, his opponent sure as hell will. If Obama can sell a forward looking and optimistic economic message with a clearly communicated plan then he can hit the Republicans at where they are the weakest, which is, running government competently.
