The morning after President Obama makes his case for four more years, reality intervenes. The only reason unemployment fell is because of the people who have given up looking for a job. The job growth is worse than expected. Gas prices are approaching $4.50 a gallon in many parts of the country and the Democrats are trying to tell Americans they're better off now than four years ago without actually telling them that.

Expect the Obama campaign and third party groups to get even more vicious in advertising than they have been from here on out.
