Five Big Takeaways From Obama's Documentary
BENJY SARLIN & EVAN MCMORRIS-SANTORO MARCH 17, 2012

President Obama's slick new re-election documentary by director Davis 
Guggenheim is the talk of the campaign trail this week, offering up one of 
the biggest previews so far of what the Fall campaign will look like.

At only 17 minutes long and devoted to framing Obama's first term in office 
(not spelling out his agenda for the next one), the campaign had to make 
some tough choices about which policies - and interest groups - they'd give 
starring roles and which ones would get a small cameo. Health care and the 
auto bailout got huge chunks of screen time, for example, while Obama's 
Supreme Court picks received just a few seconds in the spotlight. We broke 
down how much attention each policy received relative to the others in this 
chart:

Reading the tea leaves, the film offers up some new insight on where the 
campaign might be heading as the general election draws closer with every 
passing Republican primary. Here are five things that leapt out to us.

1. Forget 2011 Ever Happened

The Obama campaign video wants you to remember exactly what it was like to 
be an American in the Fall of 2008, watching the entire financial industry 
collapse before your eyes in a matter of days. The Summer of 2011? Not so 
much.

The film notably leaves out virtually any mention of a huge and important 
chunk of the Obama presidency in which he fought newly elected Republicans 
over funding the government and raising the debt ceiling. And that's not a 
given: an alternative universe Obama could just as easily be running on how 
he reduced the deficit through bipartisan agreements - in fact that's what 
many progressives feared would happen last year. But as his poll numbers 
plummeted and it became clear the economy was still weaker than initially 
thought and required more help, Obama shook up his staff and went with a 
more populist focus. It's clear from not only from the film, but Obama's 
rousing economic speeches in recent weeks and his push to tax the wealthy in 
order to invest in infrastructure and education, that the White House is 
decisively emphasizing jobs over deficits.

"What they ignore is the period that Obama spent trying to satisfy the 
Republicans, trying to move towards deficit reduction instead of job 
creation, and that period where they were simply crossing their fingers and 
hoping the economy would get better faster," Roger Hickey, co-director of 
Campaign For America's Future, told TPM. "The good news is the film 
emphasizes the president's leadership in fighting a very, very serious 
recession and puts an emphasis on creating jobs and saving Detroit."
