Dear Obama Campaign: Hint – It’s the BUSH ECONOMY vs the CLINTON ECONOMY

Sometime the Obama campaign leaves me scratching my head. They have absolutely no ability to communicate a point that anyone can remember. It seems as if they have a rule against creating a simple slogan that people can hang onto.

This was very apparent when I saw Clinton speak at the joint campaign stop he did with Obama. WIthin 5 minutes, he had given a clear, understandable explanation why we should vote for Barack Obama and not for Mitt Romney. The Republicans will give us more debt and higher unemployment – bingo. See, I still remember it. Was that so hard?

Now to one of the most important themes of the upcoming election – the economic policies proposed by Romney and Obama. They are starkly different model, but luckily examples exist of both – the Clinton Economy vs the Bush Economy.

My take on these two different approaches are in the post.

The comparisons are really good, but they'd have to make it more personally about Obama vs. Romney.

These two economic eras stir up such different feelings in people. I think this could put the economic question to rest.
