President Obama pre-empted Republican attacks by predicting the GOP would blame him for the state of the economy in a speech in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Monday.

Obama predicted a record number of negative ads attacking his economic record. 

“All they will say is that the economy is not as good as it should be and it is Obama’s fault,” Obama said of the negative ads that will run against through November. “They expect you to have amnesia and not remember who it is that got us into the mess.”

“They may have a plan to win the election, but they cannot hide the fact that they do not have a plan to create jobs or revive the middle class, or grow the economy,” Obama said. “And I do have that plan.”
