Obama then goes on to claim he "did alot" in his first four years and asks "which vision – mine or Mr. Romney’s – is most likely to deliver," to the middle class?"
According to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, 63 percent of believe the country is heading in the wrong direction under Obama.
In the discussion above, Obama admits the 8.2 percent unemployment is unlikely to change in the near future.
Of course Obama would be making the same argument if he were in Romney's shoes, it is a valid argument.
