Back to the future! Presidential Election edition

I have been saying for months that President Obama's team will be framing the 2012 election as a choice of continuing to move forward or going backward (to the Bush years). It is a natural theme and maybe the only one they have.

During the primaries it became pretty obvious the Republican field was offering a warmed over version of the Bush Presidency. The one notable exception was Herman Cain. The only thing new in the Republican Primary was his 9-9-9 plan. Whether it made sense or not was irrelevant, it was a new idea. As Romney outlasted the second tier of the Republican field it became clear that the forward vs. backward theme was going to fit.

In attempt to be as objective as possible I see Romney's platform as cut lower taxes to even lower levels than Bush, talk aggressive in areas of foreign policy, return our Health Care system to the way it was 4 years ago and.... let me know if I am missing something. There have been several hints of the Obama Team setting up the continue forward or go backward theme. Well today they have unleashed it in full color glory with the following video.
