He [Obama] must talk about the past, at least to some degree, in order to explain (1) why the recovery has been slow and difficult; and (2) why what he intends to do about it is better than what Romney would do about it, i.e., a return to policies that have already failed us. In other words, to draw the very contrast Democrats want to see, Obama needs to look backwards and forward.
This will give Republicans something to attack (he’s blaming Bush!) and it could give nervous Dems something to second guess further. But this strategic dilemma seems unavoidable.
There is no question that the president has his work cut out for him. The idea of giving a speech, which was once seen by supporters as Obama’s singular strength, lost its luster some time ago, around his thousandth address to the nation. The question today is whether anyone apart from political junkies will even be listening.
