         Text:  Four Years Ago Barack Obama Promised Iowa A Brighter Future

Obama: To make sure that this is an America that works for all people.
[Davenport, Iowa December 28, 2007]

        Man with sign:  Nearly 25 Million Americans are Unemployed, Underemployed, or Stopped Looking for Work

Obama: If you’re willing to fight for that American dream for those who are still locked out...

        Woman with sign:  34 Straight Months of Unemployment Above 8%

Obama: ...who still hunger for opportunity...

        Woman with sign:  Over 300,000 Workers Dropped Out of the Labor Force in November

Obama: If you are not willing to settle for what the cynics tell you you have to settle for.

       
        Text:  Davenport, IA December 27, 2011

Romney (voiceover): It was four years ago this week that Barack Obama visited Davenport.  And he gave a speech right down the street.

He said he would repair the nation and repair the world.  And then across the nation, he went on and promised that he would put Americans back to work.  And then he closed his speech with these words: he says ‘This is our moment, this is our time.’

Well Mr. President, you had your moment.  We have seen the results.  (Romney on camera) And now, Mr. President, this is our time.

This election is about more than just replacing a President; it’s about saving a vision of America.

We still believe in an America that brings out the best in all of us, that challenges each of us to be better and bigger than ourselves.

It is time for this pessimistic president to step aside and let American optimism that built this greatest nation on earth, build a greater future for our children. [applause]

Notes: This video has lots of interesting touchs including running the Obama video small, the use of the hand-written signs and over 20 seconds of Romney voiceover with the scenes of driving around Davenport.
