Romney's first anti-Obama ad shows the shape of things to come:
Yes, the quote attributed to Obama – “if we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose” – is actually Obama mocking McCain in 2008, not as implied in the ad. And the "failed" message strongly implies that an alternative economic strategy in 2008 would currently be paying dividends in terms of employment. But we don't know what that alternative would have been – does Romney actually believe the stimulus depressed economic growth? – but we know that what Obama did is bad because, er, everything Obama does is bad, m-kay?
Basically: "are you better off now than you were four years ago?" If not, vote for Romney. But don't ask too many questions about how he'll make you better off. Or what happened before Obama.
