Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney delivers his pre-emptive rebuttal to U.S. President Barack Obama's State of the Union Speech in Tampa, Florida Jan. 24.
Romney came out with a little pre-emptive strike today ahead of Obama's address, revealing a new campaign slogan "Obama Isn't Working" or "OIW" for short. In the debate last night, he came out swinging against his opponent Newt Gingrich, but today, he's back to hitting Obama. Do you think 'OIW' is an acronym that has appeal? Do you think he's trying to create something like OWS (Occupy Wall Street)? I find myself a little overwhelmed with three-letter acronyms of late.
Tonight Obama will give his State of the Union address to the nation. Take a look back at Obama's three years in office in our slideshow below, and look at the public lives of Romney and Gingrich in photos.

I wonder who the last primate of the primaries will be left dragging their knuckles.
Romney's campaign has been using Obama Isn't Working (OIW) for at least a little over one month.
It began with the ads that paid homage to Labor Isn't Working ads that Thatcher, I think it was, used in her campaign.
It might have been as long as 3 months ago, in fact, that Romney began using this.
Mark-3147899..... it isn't too difficult to come up with something better than knuckle-dragging smack. What next, Mark, a knock-knock joke? A yo-momma joke? Can we get a I-Know-You-Are-But-What-Am-I? Maybe a I'm-rubber-you're-Glue? Or a, Oh-yeah-well-my-dad-can-bench-press-405lbs-and-run-the-40-yard-dash-in-3-seconds? Ohhh Mark, you may not be God's gift to originality, but you are God's gift to comedy - just not in the way you think.
Mitt Romney, whose predator company destroyed thousands of American jobs and pays lower taxes than most working Americans along with his fellow clown and thief, Newt Gingrich should both be put into jail for all the damage this crowd has done to the American economy. O yes, they got their money the old fashioned way, THEY STOLE IT !! AMERICA IS SICK OF THEM AND THE REPUBLICAN CROOKS WHO stole jobs, homes, life savings and retirement that millions of Americans worked hard for and it went straight to the top 2 % these clowns. Half of the young people under 30 cannot find work today in this economy. These are the ones who want to work and worked hard for an education but had the opportunity stolen by so called CONSERVATIVES who only want to conserve their greed by stealing education and opportunity. These idiots started wars in Iraq and the Middle East to conceal the Republican Party's declaration of war upon the American middle class and working families that started under old senile Reagan (Remember when Papa Bush called Reagan's economic policies "voodoo economics?". I say it is time for the American people to win this war and punish people like these clowns running for President who steal and then laugh at the average person and say"what are you going to do about it?" Stay tuned, Obama should get off his slick, polite talk and the Democratic Party should stand with the people or none will be in Washington within four years.
Obama might not be working, most of us are already certain Romney will never work.
romney and gingrich should be in a circus they are real clowns
