Really Mr. President? I'm speechless...

It has not been a good week for the president and things are about to get even worse.

The president and his team have seen today's poll numbers and undoubtedly recognize the fragile state of his campaign.  Yesterday's poll numbers show that Mitt Romney picked up a huge bounce from the debates.  Rasmussen poll has Mitt Romney leading nationally.  Pew shows Mitt Romney with a four point lead and Gallup shows the race tied at 47-47%.

Nearly every poll shows that Mitt Romney benefited significantly from the debates.

What is important to note?  Every one of these polls had the president leading by several points just a week ago.

Even more noteworthy? The polls reflect that Mitt Romney has eradicated President Obama's lead among women voters.  In the Pew Research Center poll, Mitt Romney is now tied among likely women voters.  This is significant because the president has boasted of an 18 point lead among this crucial demographic.

The polls also reflect that Mitt Romney has a significant lead among independents.

Like it or not, Mitt Romney got a bigger bounce from the debate than Obama got from the Democratic National Convention.  The convention where former President Bill Clinton gave a "game changing" speech.

So what does the president do to reclaim his message?  How does he now reassure the American people that he cares about our financial stability?  And that his second term would somehow be different than the dismal results of his first?

He ran this ad.



Umm... I am speechless.

This is sophomoric.  This is ridiculous.  This is not presidential.

The president just made Mitt Romney's job a little easier.  Why?  Because Mitt Romney is the grownup in the room with a real and authentic plan to improve the state of our economy in America.  Even better? Mitt Romney has the resume to back it up.

Americans heard Mitt Romney's plan.  We believed him.  We liked what we heard.

Sorry Mr. President, you are failing to address the fact that despite everything you oversaw, tried and spent, Americans are still hurting---Americans are still losing their jobs---America's economy is still broken.

What has changed?  Americans are now demanding results---results that your leadership could not produce.

Go Mitt!
