Obama's Reset Campaign Speech Offers Nothing New - Investors.com
Election 2012: What a letdown for those pinning hopes on President Obama's "major" campaign speech Thursday. Nothing but recycled lines, cliches, dreary policy details and a campaign message that didn't sell before.
Like every speech he gives these days, Obama started by rattling off all the reasons he's not to blame for the current economic slump, how petty politics are getting in the way of his economic fixes, how he's nevertheless done great things and how the economy truly is getting better.
He peppered the speech with hackneyed lines that show up in every one of his "major" addresses: "I want us to be in a race to the top." "We're stronger together, like when we built the Hoover Dam." "I don't think government is the answer to every problem."
And his core campaign message remains unchanged: Voting for Mitt Romney means giving "the policies of the last decade another try."
That message is exactly what Obama delivered in the fall of 2010, in another Ohio speech, when he claimed Rep. John Boehner was merely peddling "the same philosophy that led to this mess in the first place."
