President Obama needs to make case for better times ahead

UNDATED (WFRV) Former President Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama got the Democratic Party faithful fired up for the big show: President Obama's acceptance speech in a bid for another term. U-W Green Bay Political Science Professor Emeritus Mike Kraft says the president needs to build on the previous nights momentum in making his case to the nation.

"He needs to indicate he believes that his direction will best protect the American public, would promote the economy, job growth, prosperity," Kraft said.

Kraft says that'll involve showing a clear contrast between his vision and that of his opponents. Contrast to attract an important minority of voters.

"Obama and Romney need to appeal that two, three, four-percent of the electorate that says 'I don't know. I could go either way.' He's got to make sure they go his way," Kraft said.

And that can be a tricky sell with Main Street voters.

"My two primary concerns would be for our children for the future and the senior citizens for the health care programs that have been cut," said Cynthia Nething of Oconto Falls.

"I'm disappointed in the economy and also with the unemployment that we have. I think it could have bee different had he followed what he said he would do," said Jean Fogelberg of Oconto Falls.

Local 5's Terry Kovarik has the story.
