(The Hill) — The Obama campaign released a seven-minute long web video on Monday highlighting the president’s first term accomplishments, contrasting them with the challenges he inherited from the prior administration.
The video teases a new campaign slogan: “Forward,” and while it doesn’t mention Obama’s likely Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, it blames GOP policies for the still sluggish economy.
The ad begins by focusing on events from January 2008 on, sketching a downward trending timeline detailing mounting job losses, the foreclosure crisis, the stock market plunge, and the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, with pictures of former President George W. Bush transposed beneath.
