Obama Web video touts successes, unveils new 2012 slogan: ‘Forward’

The Hill ^ | 4/30/2012 | Jonathan Easley

The Obama campaign released a seven-minute Web video on Monday highlighting the president’s first-term accomplishments, contrasting them with the challenges he inherited from the prior administration.

The video teases a new campaign slogan, "Forward," and while it doesn’t mention Obama’s likely Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, it blames GOP policies for the still-sluggish economy.

The ad begins by focusing on events from January 2008 onward, sketching a downward-trending timeline detailing mounting job losses, the foreclosure crisis, the stock market plunge and the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, with pictures of former President George W. Bush beneath.

The video has only been watched about 306 times yet it has over 900 likes. Huh. Fuzzy Math.

I disliked it but at least I started to watch the video, got through about 20 seconds of it.

This FOOL and his Controllers need to be ousted out of power(by vote of course) and we need to get people educated about what has happened to our country and get them to understand why we need to correct it.

The problem might be most of the people who understand the facts and how we cannot continue to pay for almost 50% of the other peoples’ life, are educated beyond a 5th grade reading level.

More specifically, when we try to express ourselves to others we are probably talking or writing at a level they can’t or just wont take the time to comprehend.

Is there a way to dumb down our ideas, not shortchange them, but make they easier concepts so someone who reads or comprehends at a 4th grade level can understand them?

I am concerned that our country will be lost if Obama is reelected. He is gutting the military(don’t see that on the news do you?) and building up law enforcement agencies and even arming up IRS agents.

You should have put a barf alert on that link!

I see they're only letting in approved comments too so it's a giant orgy of libtard kumbaya.

[doug from upland]

Forward? How about Four Words =

AMERICA, YOU SCREWED UP

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Should be—Forward to the Worker’s Paradise!

[ETL]

There are rumors it might be revised to: “A Dog In Every Pot”

[Las Vegas Ron]

They misunderstood him. Obama did not say “Forward” he yelled “Fore!” to his caddy, Ward.

LOL...was his partner Ben Dover?

[Leep]

Other slogans they almost used:

Me,myself and I.
Blame Republicans
Blame rich folks
Blame whitey
Blame the guy who was elected in 2008..oh wait.

[AU72]

It will work as well as Mao’s Great Leap Forward.

[sjmjax]

Forward!

[LUV W]

Forward!

[FrankR]

[proudpapa]

It will soon be shortened to just...

“FORE!”

[LUV W]

You’re good

[skinkinthegrass]

yhea...Fast "Foward" over the cliff on to the rocks below!

[LUV W]

What a putz

[LibLieSlayer]

Thelma and Louise moved forward... right over the cliff... obama is driving America over the cliff... romney is in his station wagon and trying to draft and pass obama.

LLS

[patriot08]

Sheep will keep on following until I got 'em where I want 'em.

[The Electrician]

Oh, like on an incorrectly delivered envelope, as in Forward...

That's the instruction that he's going to give to the Postal Service so that mail sent to him addressed to the White House will be sent to Chicago after January 20th.

[jimmyo57]

Read the comments under the video!

[Piranha]

The word “Forward” has been associated with revolutionary Socialism for more than a century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_(generic_name_of_socialist_publications)

[tumblindice]

“Comrades! Attention, Comrades! I have glorious news for you!
A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man!
Forward, Onward, Further, Backward, Stop, Then Forward ... Excelsior! Eureka! My achin’ `rhoids~”
Commissar Jebediah Springfield

[PghBaldy]

Great point. It made me think of this:

The Great Leap Forward

[DannyTN]

Rudy pointed out, "Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy."

Forward is neither a destination, a strategy, and doesn't even convey a direction unless you realize which way you are facing.

[LUV W]

Sounds like a bunch a’ FReepers! Poor ole LibJoe is getting pounded for drinking the zero koolaid! LOL!

[sonrise57]

[NormsRevenge]

Ya can add Foreclosed when all the new taxes kick in January..

[Idaho_Cowboy]

Bravo, you beat me to it. I was going to say it was a great slogan, but they spelled it wrong. Perverse and wayward fits quite well.

[DBeers]

Let my people go?

0b0z0 calls the charge to move forward to the leftist utopian promised land. The One sees himself as Moses leading the masses by force away from individual self determination and freedom under God to the false tranquility of socialism and assured slavery under the hand of the state.

0b0zo is a false prophet who seeks to reestablish Sodom and reconstruct the Tower of Babel.

[fwdude]

It’s hard to go forward when you have “ropes and chains” around your ankle.

[fwdude]

Yeah, forward into the abyss, more accurately.

[fwdude]

My gosh, does that impostor have AIDS or something?! He’s wasting away.

[B Knotts]

Custer was exactly whom I thought of when I read the headline.

[csmusaret]

Obama’s new slogan is “Fo Mo Mo Fo”.

[BigEdLB]

[BigEdLB]

Yes, forward...

That has been used before

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Shouldn’t he have gone forward 3 years and 3 months ago? Instead he’s been in reverse with the commies in the rearview mirror.

[popdonnelly]

Obama’s a socialist dictator. This stupid slogan fits his leftist regime.

[R0CK3T]

Rise Up Comrade - RISE UP!!!

Its all the SAME bull squat that Lenin and Stalin and Allende and all the rest of the Dictator wannabes spewed as they destroyed complete societies.

Forward, Comrade Chairman 0bama!!!

Only Obama could make a 7 minute campaign video blaming Bush and name it “FORWARD”

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

I’m ‘forward’ thinking of a new President.

[Bellflower]

Forward? Not very catchy or cool.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

How about this slogan:

Obama 2008, for Hope and Change
Obama 2012, the Dope has Mange

OR:
Obama: 2008: Hope and Change’
Obama 2012: Running on Empty (like our wallets and gas tanks)

[MM: I willingly accept applause, verbal praise, checks, cash or money orders).

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

re Leftward Ho-es. :(more believable)

How about “Fluke Forward”?

[sheik yerbouty]

Boomlakalaka!

The key to translating Obonics to English is to take whatever he says and turn it arounds 180 degrees.

Obama is a moderate. His political ideology lies between communism and socialism.
