Obama’s convention message: Look what I’ve done

[n2doc]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — President Barack Obama delivers his third Democratic convention speech Thursday — and this time — unlike Boston in 2004 and Denver in 2008 — he’s a man with a record.

...

Stumping in Colorado on Sunday, Obama framed Romney’s convention as a look back — a rerun — which fits neatly into the Obama “Forward, Not Back” slogan.

“Despite all the challenges that we face in this new century, what they offered over those three days was an agenda that was better suited for the last century. It was a rerun. It could have been on Nick at Nite,” Obama said.

“We’ve seen it before. You might as well have watched it on a black-and-white TV, with some rabbit ears.

“And if you didn’t DVR it, the basic recap goes something like this: The economy is not doing what it should be; it’s all Obama’s fault -- that was a key theme — and Governor Romney knows the secret to creating jobs and growing the economy. “

For Obama, the Charlotte convention represents a continuation of explaining his accomplishments — reminding people he didn’t create the economic mess he inherited — and making the argument Romney offers nothing better.

1. I would bet in the actual speech its "look what WE'VE done"

just saying...The republicans like to portray him as an egomaniac, where, I think, he values most highly what is done by people working together toward a goal.

2. Hey! Get outta my head!

That's exactly what my first thought was on seeing this as well! That President Obama would probably use we instead of I. It's his way!
