The president doesn't seem to like this moment. Who would? He and his men and women have returned to referring to what they "inherited." And what they inherited was, truly, terrible: again, a severe economic crisis and two wars. But their recent return to this theme is unbecoming. Worse, it is politically unpersuasive. It sounds defensive, like a dodge.
I have little faith in the majority of people to read past the ra ra cheer leading to see what is happening with his policies. A talented Republican speaker could defeat Obama during the next election using his track record and statistics...but I have yet to see a talented Republican speaker come forward.
