Obama launches campaign against Romney, but his real opponent is the economy
By Dan Balz,
COLUMBUS, OHIO — President Obama formally launched his reelection campaign here Saturday
with some old favorites, from “fired up, ready to go” to a closing bow to “hope and change.”
But almost everything else about the day spoke to the differences between his first and
second runs for the president.
The president used his rallies to try to begin to disqualify Mitt Romney. Yet the coming
election is still more about him than his Republican rival. Obama’s biggest opponent may be
an economy that is still struggling to gain the kind of momentum that will convince voters
that the recession is truly over.
Mitt Romney on the campaign trail: With the Republican presidential nomination essentially
assured, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney steps up his criticism of President
Obama.
This campaign has had lots of “big deal” scandals. Of course, most of them are minor.
It was perhaps a coincidence in timing that the president’s opening events came just a day
after a tepid employment report that showed only modest private-sector job creation. The
unemployment rate ticked down a tenth of a percentage point, but only because the labor
force shrank as discouraged Americans gave up looking for work.
The general election gets underway against that backdrop, neither so gloomy as to make it
all but certain that the president will be defeated nor good enough to give Democrats real
confidence that the president’s reelection is all but assured. For the next months, Obama
and Romney are both hostages to the economic statistics even as they slug it out on the
campaign trail.
Obama showed he is ready for the fight. His campaign skills have lost little in the four
years since iconic rallies became the trademark of his candidacy. Introduced by first lady
Michelle Obama, he walked onto a runway in the Schottenstein Center on the campus of Ohio
State University, paused, smiled, waved and smiled again.
After a few more strides, he hugged and kissed his wife, stepped to the microphone — and
then proceeded to try to shred Romney and the Republicans. His rival, Obama said, is a
patriotic American with a fine family and experience in the private sector and with running
a state.
But Romney “has drawn the wrong lessons from those experiences,” the president said. “He
sincerely believes that if CEOs and wealthy investors like him make money, the rest of us
will automatically prosper as well.”
He pulled from Romney’s statements on the campaign trail and the agenda of a congressional
wing of the Republican Party that he portrayed as backward-looking and harmful to the
country’s future. He suggested that Romney is a man out of touch with the lives and
aspirations of working Americans and in league with the wealthiest in society.
“I don’t know how many times you try to explain it,” he said, referring to a Romney comment
the Democrats love to quote. “Corporations aren’t people. People are people.”
Though the president has been campaigning for months, Obama’s advisers billed Saturday’s
rallies in the battleground states of Ohio and Virginia as an opportunity to draw
distinctions with Romney and the Republicans in ways he had not done previously.
The contrasts he drew were more sharply etched and at times hard-edged. The litany was long.
Tax cuts. Health care. Education. Financial regulation. Energy. Climate change. Women’s
rights. Setting a timetable for ending the war in Afghanistan.

Obama launches campaign against Romney, but his real opponent is the economy
“We can’t afford to spend the next four years going backward,” he said. “. . . We just
cannot turn back now.”
Those issues will be at the center of the debate between the president and the former
Massachusetts governor. But for many voters, the first question they will try to answer is
likely to be whether the country truly is going forward fast enough to satisfy them.
Mitt Romney on the campaign trail: With the Republican presidential nomination essentially
assured, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney steps up his criticism of President
Obama.
This campaign has had lots of “big deal” scandals. Of course, most of them are minor.
If their conclusion is no, the second is whether they think the president has the vision and
the strength of leadership to get the country where they want it to go. He will be measured
against that standard as much as against comparisons with Romney.
The president showed he has plenty of material to make the case against Romney and the
Republicans, as he tries to avoid allowing the election to become a pure referendum on his
record. His opening argument was also long on language of a rosy future that he said
Americans could look to, but only if they reject what Romney is offering.
Romney’s advisers believe that kind of rhetoric will go only so far. They will try to push
the voters back with something the former governor said on the night he won five primaries
and essentially ended the Republican race. “The last few years have been the best Barack
Obama can do,” he said. “But it’s not the best America can do.”
Whatever conclusions voters have drawn about his record, Obama is not a deeply disliked
president. In fact, he is judged as considerably more likable a politician than his rival.
Romney advisers already have conceded that if the election turns on likability, their man is
in trouble. That is why Romney has turned to a more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger characterization
of the Obama record. He is playing on a sentiment that exists, and the president will have
to rebut it.
Obama’s case against Romney was well framed and argued with passion. What was missing — and
has been in the president’s message — is something that looks to this moment. He talked
about going back and going forward but did not talk so much about now. He did not explain to
voters just where he believes the economy is right now, why it has not rebounded as quickly
as anyone hoped, what the real obstacles to more rapid growth are and what exactly he plans
to do to fix things.
Obama’s rally in Columbus included trademark elements of his campaign style, with an
emphasis on grass-roots organizing, pushing the envelope on technology and efforts to arouse
the passions of his followers. The crowd of 14,000 did not fill the 18,000-seat arena, but
it eclipsed anything Republican candidates have shown this year.
Republicans noted the empty seats and suggested it showed that the Obama coalition is less
enthusiastic about this campaign than the last one. White House senior adviser David Plouffe
said the campaign is happy to have a debate about crowd size with Romney. A top campaign
adviser said he is confident that the enthusiasm gap no longer tilts significantly to the
advantage of the Republicans.
There is little likelihood that Obama can truly rekindle what he had in 2008, but that may
not be necessary. What he needs is an economy on the mend and a belief among the voters that
he has a second-term agenda and the leadership to take care of unfinished business.

"... We call this a 'Speech Interrupter' during a specific time of the campaign's session.
This type of VE is a true visual element meant to stop promoting someone's concept, in this
matter, the Obama's campaign.
There is also a general 'Speech Interrupter', but usually during an interview or conference
by politicians. The 'Image Interrupter' is used to send a signal to a specific group of
individuals. The message has been received by those and is translating the meaning of such a
'code'. It could be helpful to bring the campaign to another level of 'blaring'.
In the next topic you see the results of 'II Promoting: to beat the opposite'.
The topic is a very interesting part due to the fact that both campaigners take advantage of
the VE palette: the way they convince others to vote for. That's why the marketing strategy,
especially on the internet, makes it more attractive during the development of the election
system."
"Let me say some things about a typical VE Triangle. This is just an example of how
these two campaigners are trying to get as many voters as possible in the next few months.
To give you an idea of a true element signal is this: we found a message in the hallway on that wall. One of our people found that message all the way from America. Yes! On the wall, in this building, someone put this piece of paper right over there. It shows Oprah Winfrey and the president. Obama is smiling at her, sitting next to her and holding her with one hand.
The text below explains something: 'She was bringing him to the White House.'
No, I'm not telling you wich building I'm in now, but it is absolutely remarkable that these OMAT users are communicating with us in this physical world instead of a digital platform, the internet.
This is, what we call, an absolute VE Triangle Message!
Now, how I'm going to explain this type of 'translating' to you , folks?
My advice is: 'Very funny, nice try. We certainly have got your message here in The Haque (Holland), but, please, let's hold it
right here. Just follow the news, okay?'", said CSS Researcher Cherry Irani.
