"President Obama can't even head home to Chicago for some birthday fundraising events without getting hounded about the sagging economy by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
On Wednesday, Romney released another in a series of Internet videos trying to tie Obama’s political fortunes to the floundering economy. With images of empty storefronts and abandoned city streets, the ad notes that Chicago’s unemployment rate is up 48% since November 2008, when the president was elected.
As with past Romney ads, it concludes with Obama’s own words: “If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition.”"
