It looks like President Obama and his election strategists have finally decided on a campaign slogan worthy of his (presumed) reelection: “Forward“.
I’m going to ignore for a second that:
- linguistically, Obama’s continuing the fine Democrat tradition of selecting idealistic, innocuous campaign slogans (I wonder if “Together We Can” + “Hope
& Change” + “Forward” was intentionally designed as an incomplete-yet-subliminal sentence, or simply coincidental?); - socio-politically, they chose a word favored by Marxist, Communist, Fascist, and Socialist leaders when inspiring their followers;
- metaphysically, the “Arrow of Time” only points “forward“;
- sociopathically, Obama’s previous use of the open-ended phrase “Change is” seemed much more appropriate.
| Why? Because the word “Forward” completely overlooks Obama’s many impressive accomplishments during the past 4 years – accomplishments he’d certainly want to brag about if he were truly serious about keeping his job. Personally, I know that if my job were on the line (which would be every single day, unless you’re a government worker or Union member) I’d be sure to engage in continuous, almost shameless self-promotion.
So, let’s consider some of President Obama’s copious accomplishments:
Well, blow me down and call me “windswept” – “DOWNWARD”? – This one word brilliantly summarizes his accomplishments while simultaneously painting a picture of exactly what to expect should he be (gasp!) re-elected. |

It’s the perfect slogan for Obama’s 2012 campaign… and, here’s a Bumper Sticker to commemorate it, courtesy of my lousy graphics art skills! (click it for a much larger version)
