Pretty much.
And furthermore...Obama is now in the same position as the Bush record he ran against.
Obama 4 years ago said it was Bush's policies that put us in bad shape and made us all believe he had the answer.
Now he has 4 years of pretty much failing with his methods and all he can do is promise more of the same (or else admit his ideas were no good and try a different way).
Meanwhile Romney makes some very good points.
Especially when he spoke of energy policy.
Obama tried that old subsidizing oil companies argument (which if he really didn't like it...he's had 4 years to stop it but didn't).
Romney NAILED him on that when he pointed out that it's only a little over 2 billion dollars a year...and that Obama handed out 90 billion to a bunch of green energy companies that were owned by his campaign contributors!
Now that was badass!
I also liked when Romney nailed Obama on his lies about oil and gas production. Obama stood there and lied his ass off when he insinuated that because of his administration that oil and gas production was higher in the U.S. than ever.
Romney correctly pointed out that ALL of that new production is happening on PRIVATE lands and Obama actually cut production on federal land in half!
