The Obama ad everyone needs to watch

List of Obama accomplishments prove the president is needed for a second term in office

With focus being rightfully paid to the recall campaign in Wisconsin, it's difficult to remember at times that this is a presidential election year. So, the question becomes: does Barack Obama deserve a second term in office?

The answer is a resounding "yes." Not only does Obama make a better candidate for a second four-year term versus Mitt Romney, but the president has proven that his record as commander in chief has been stellar.

Don't believe me? Watch this ad put out by the Obama campaign and tell me different:



These accomplishments can be seen at 5:10 in the video:

The ad ends with a single word (especially familiar to Wisconsinites): FORWARD.

And that's the direction we'll move in if we send Barack Obama back to the White House.
