Robert Gibbs, a senior adviser to the Obama campaign, countered a major theme of the Republican convention this week that there is considerable disappointment with President Obama. “I don’t think there’s disappointment,” Gibbs told CNN’s Candy Crowley in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday. “I think voters understand, Candy, we’ve been through traumatic economic experience in our country unlike anything we’ve ever seen and voters understand it took us years and years of tremendously bad decisions, by running up huge debts and providing huge tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires that didn’t create jobs.”

In Charlotte, Democrats message will be about the “choice” between going forward with Obama or going back to Bush-era policies with Romney-Ryan, Gibbs explained.
