Obama Borrows New Campaign Slogan From MSNBC
The new Obama slogan: “Forward.”
President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign is out with a new slogan today — “Forward.” — as part of a seven minute video highlighting the president’s accomplishments in his first term.
The message is reminiscent of the MSNBC slogan “Lean Forward,” and is intended to provide a more optimistic message to a campaign so far defined by “we’re better than the other guy.”
The video features a listing of Obama’s legislative achievements, obstructionist Republicans, and, of course, the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
According to the Obama campaign, the video will be played at President Obama’s first campaign rallies on Saturday.
Republicans are attempting to co-opt the slogan on social media, with RNC Press Secretary Kirsten Kukowski sending out nine bullet points, including: “Under Obama’s budget, Americans can look #FORWARD to $1.9 trillion in higher taxes.”
Referencing the Fox slogan “Fair and Balanced,” MSNBC Morning Joe anchor Joe Scarborough quipped this morning: “So is Mitt Romney’s slogan going to be ‘Balanced’? … They’re taking MSNBC’s slogan.”

emilyintegral a year agoIt’s a mighty good slogan, especially considering the multitude of ways that the anachronistic throwback Mittbot harkens back to the dark ages on all fronts. Also, I might add, “Forward” has been the state motto of (my home state of) Wisconsin since 1851. Forward!

jameslas a year agoEnough of you are so divorced from reality that I’m left with no reaction beyond simple pity. I do hope some of you manage to resolve these issues with anger, fear, and denial. You can only live so long catering to those emotions, considering their basis on ephemeral campaign propaganda. In the end, I worry more for your well being than I do for any election. It doesn’t matter how many of you post online, or how loud you get in public: I believe there are still more people with rational minds and hope in their hearts. “Keep moving forward!” ~ from Disney’s movie Meet the Robinsons.

heatherb21 a year agoI am pleased to see many enlightened people posting. O is a disaster.Can we all admit it. The country embraced hope and we were conned.
The path we are on is like Europe and just look at them. They are broke and over run with immigrants who refuse to assimilate
The man can’t even campaign on his one accomplishment of Ocare because this is AMERICA!.
I have no words that could properly express how important it is for O to go back to his Chicago.
He has created chaos at home and throughout the world.
Supporting Islamists ~the Arab Spring~funding Palestinian whackos with millions we borrowed from China.
Embrace the Mormon folks. Its our only chance to continue a true democracy. -

“Forward, the OBAMA Brigade!”
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the Ocupied knew
Some one had blunder’d.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the LEFT. Disparity to right of them,
China to left of them,
Jihad in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the the United States. Flash’d all their Golf Clubs bare” -
