The punditocracy is having a lot of fun with this:
The choice in this election is between an economy that produces a growing middle class and that gives people a chance to get ahead and their kids a chance to get ahead, and an economy that continues down the road we are on, where a fewer and fewer number of people do very well and everybody else is running faster and faster just to keep pace.” – Obama adviser David Axelrod, April 16, 2012
See what happened there? Axelrod accidentally told the truth. Heh.
What we’ve really got here is a thousandth chorus of “Bush did it,” only instead of setting it up first, Axelrod delivered only the dig. As far as I know, Rush pointed it out first (as he is wont to do). Jonah Goldberg has it today.
Despite the occasional tortured narrative describing Obama’s presidency as a wonderful thing, his team knows that he can’t run on his record. So, it’s still Bush’s fault. The bold and visionary policies President Obama has put in place are just beginning to work, but it’s critical that we keep him in there for stability. These Republican-caused problems are graver than anyone could have imagined, and it’s just taking a little longer, is all. Also, Mitt Romney is a woman-hating cult member who built his fortune stealing from the poor.
Might be a tweak here or there, but that’s the Obama reelection strategy.

I don’t remember where I got that. I first found it appropriate when Obama became bizarrely convinced that his health care disaster wasn’t more popular because he wasn’t talking enough about it.
