Energetic Obama Back On The Trail: I’m Still The Candidate Of Hope And Change
President Obama re-emerged on Thursday in Green Bay, Wisconsin after three days dedicated to Hurricane Sandy with a spirited and revamped stump speech that served as his closing argument. He sought to reclaim the mantle of change that served him so well in 2008 and blasted Mitt Romney’s policies as more of the same.
Obama didn’t hold back on criticizing Romney, but he dropped the “Romnesia” refrain he has used for the past two weeks and instead sought to recapture the notion that his challenger’s plans are the extreme policies of the George W. Bush years. Romney, Obama said, has been using his “talents as a salesman” to sell the country old policies repackaged as new ones.
“He’s saying he’s the candidate of change,” Obama said. “Well let me tell you, Wisconsin, we know what change looks like, and what the governor’s offering sure ain’t change.”
Obama ticked off some of Romney’s faux-change policies.
“Giving power back to the biggest banks isn’t change,” Obama said. “Leaving millions without health insurance isn’t change.”
