3. This is going to be a tough uphill fight

It doesn't matter what Bush had or did, and yacking about Bush is only going to harm Obama. Obama is running against Romney, and has to defend his record.
Bush is 3 plus years out of office. He and we should not go down that path... his call is Forward! Not backwards. Blaming Bush is a dangerous road and a lot of the key swing voters will not buy it. That is the harsh reality.

The Ohio launch...
Obama had masses of supporters when it got going in 08, and filled sites easily. This being a kick off of his campaign does not bode well on two fronts. They should have kicked it off in an area where they knew they would get an arena packed.
I cannot look at this with rose colored glasses... The campaign staff blew it big time, and it if this were 08, thousands would have been outside hoping to get in.

You may not like the above, but tell me how any of this was a good thing?
