[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]
It looks like the Obama campaign may have settled on its slogan for the 2012 election: “Forward.”
Four years ago Barack Obama ran on another one-word slogan, “Change.” Now, as President Obama prepares to hold the first public campaign rallies for his reelection, his team is giving a sense of what his pitch to votes will look like.
A seven-minute web video (watch below) lays out the precarious state of the nation when Obama took office in 2009 and the steps he took to begin addressing the critical challenges. Republicans have attempted to argue recently that Obama is not running on his record, but the video shows otherwise — the stimulus, the auto industry rescue, credit card and Wall Street reforms, healthcare reform, student loan reform, green energy investments, lower taxes for the middle class, equal pay for women and a repeal of the law banning gays from serving openly in the military make up the first half of the online advertisement.
But there’s then a pivot that signals how the president will use Republican obstructionism as a foil. Images of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity flash by, and then one of Mitt Romney.
“Instead of working together to lift America up, Republicans were waging a campaign to tear the president down,” the narrator continues. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader of the Senate, is also shown saying that Republicans’ “top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term.”

“forward” as in continuing the demise of America.
and you expected him to use “HOPEless” as a slogan?????
Wow, I bet everyone falls for this…
IOW, don’t look backwards. The future is much prettier.
Whats funny is that they manipulate the numbers and leave out major points. Sure, they take credit for “creating” x-number of jobs but how many people became unemployed in the same period? Do they take credit for that too or is that Bush’s fault? What about the record number of people on unemployment benefits and foodstamps? What about the fact that healthcare expenses almost doubled because of his policies?
But, as ChaimShamayim says, all the lefties will fall for it and ignore the actual figures
Where have I heard that before…
hmmmm….???
Oh yeah…
That’s what General Custer said as he led his men into the massacre at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
