It is all Obamas fault! Forward? Ha, backwards rather 

The Investment Insight

    The American Crossroads created an ad displaying (and offending) President Obama with showing the public a commercial where Crossroads portrays how awful everything has been since Obama got elected. „Homeownership is he lowest in 15 years” or „It’s getting more expensive for gas“ are the statements (that are true indeed) blaming Obama for the situation the current situation of the US (have a look on YouTube here). No one cares about underlining the fact that unemployment decreased since this year January or the fact that gas prices go up might finally lead people to consider other ways of transportation than demanding so much that companies are pushed as far as BP and therefore unnecessarily do mistakes and poison our environment (BP Gulf of Mexico disaster of 2010). Media shape publics opinion about a person although this is a false connection, but it is dramatic and embodies psychological appeal and that is why it works! The fact that actually it takes time for a nation as big as US to recover for what happened in 2008 (when Obama was not President) is left aside. Obama is right about his new slogan “forward” because that is what is most important for now to get out of the situation and not the fact that portraying him as someone who is to blame for something he is actually not to blame for.
