Obama makes own appeal on GOP’s big day

The president’s campaign releases a video that seems to respond to a certain Republican’s attacks.
As Iowans head to caucus, Obama argues he’s kept his ‘promises’
Mitt Romney has repeatedly attacked President Obama on the trail here in Iowa by citing the speeches then-candidate Obama made in the state during the Democratic primary four years ago and telling voters he hasn’t delivered.
Today, the Obama campaign released a video that seemed to respond to Romney’s attacks—though it made no mention of the Republican contender.
Titled “Promises,” the video features footage of Obama’s caucus night victory speech in Iowa four years ago. It argues that Obama has delivered on the pledges he made in that speech, including ending the war in Iraq and passing health care reform.
The campaign advertised the spot by buying banner ads on the Des Moines Register’s home page—where many voters will be following election returns in the Republican primary tonight.
