Obama's 'Change' Slogan Gets a Change
abcnews.com ^ | September 13, 2008 | Staff

ABC New's Sunlen Miller reports: Hey, what happened to "Change We Can Believe In?"

Barack Obama has suddenly changed his campaign slogan and signage replacing the 19 month Obama campaign event staple with a new one: "Change We Need."

Obama_change_closeThe new slogan slowly started debuting after the convention but wasn't fully debuted as a package until this weekend in New Hampshire. The new campaign slogan is coupled with a new podium donning the familiar – yet slightly different - message, new campaign signs, and a large banner on stage behind Obama.

Boy. Now there’s substance. There’s heavy-duty intellectual content.

Wow.

I’m really impressed.

Changing “change we can believe in” to “change we need”.

Who can doubt Obama’s qualifications now?

I can think of a further improvement:

We need spare change.

Why don’t they bring back the podium seal that read “Obama for America” and resembled the actual presidential seal?

Then Obamaniacs can plant the seed in people’s minds that this guy is really presidential. Some might think he’s already president.

One thing I will admit is Barry Hussein is for change.

He changes his message every day.

Barry reminds me of a diaper.

They both need frequent changing and for the same reason.

Wow!!

He is the one. He’s got a new slogan that we can believe in.

Has this clown offered anything other than a few slogans and “I was against this war from the very beginning?”

Really, has the guy offered anything other than a few stupid slogans? Is he running for junior class president or head cheerleader?

Other slogan’s in the wing:

“McCain’s only change is his Depends” (Sure to win over the elderly voters!)

“Hope for Change”

“Change, Hope and Unity for All”

“Got Change?”

I’m going to be telling my grandchildren that, this, this moment, the moment The Slogan Was Changed, was also the moment that the seas began to retreat from the high-water mark, the earth began to cool, and civilization began to heal.

“Change we need”?

Change “we need” into what?

Amusingly, it pronounces as “Change weenied”.

I hate nonsensical sentence fragments.

May I suggest changing “We need” into “We’re screwed”.

Cutting the bullsh** would be a change.

He was in the state legislature and the Senate. He didn't stand up a make a difference. In fact, he voted PRESENT 45% of the time. On other issues, he voted with the party.

He doesn't get it...We don't want to be a socialist country. We were deemed to be a Republic....with MORALS.

A friend of my came up with "Obama bin Biden"

Their slogan should read, "You can believe we are going to TAKE the change you need!"

"In the spirit of continuous improvement, I, the great and powerful O-Zone, am changing the change game to reflect the changes that have taken place since change became the sine qua non ["without me there is nothing"] of life on earth. Look forward to more, and more frequent. changes going forward.

In any business, if someone gets too cocky over success, that success quickly takes a dive.

Obama’s seat on his mega O jet has been said to sport a sign reading “Obama President” not “Obama FOR President”. It seems not even the anointed one is immune to the rule!

“There’s a real distinction between more of the same and the change we need and so that’s a part,” Obama’s Chief Strategist David Axelrod says of change from the old slogan, “It’s not that we’re moving away form it, but we’re incorporating it.”

"Change we need"

After Obama's recent fundraising slump, I think a more accurate slogan would be "We need your change!"

A “real distinction”? Man - if this is what they are calling change......
