Obama on Campaign Slogan: ‘We’re Still Working On It’
The man who made “change we can believe in” and “yes, we can” hallmarks of the 2008 presidential race is still searching for a catchy phrase to define his next campaign.
“We’re still working on it,” President Obama told ABC News’ Barbara Walters when asked about his slogan in an exclusive pre-Christmas interview.
“I think that’s a great question,” Obama said, grinning. “If those middle-schoolers have any suggestions, let me know.” (Walters’ question had been written by a young American student and Obama admirer.)
While no official selection has been made 313 days before the election, Obama’s campaign team has been testing a mix of pithy phrases meant to reflect the president’s accomplishments and vision for the future – all while deflecting attention from the lagging economy and some of the promises from 2008 that didn’t quite get fulfilled.
In a slew of recent speeches, Obama has tried to frame his actions in office as a path for America to “win the future.” He’s trumpeted his political philosophy as the one that ensures all Americans are “getting a fair shot.” He’s exhorted supporters and opponents alike to be “greater together,” and reminded his audiences of “what change is.”
Earlier this year, Obama coined a preliminary campaign slogan — “We Can’t Wait” – to reflect his agenda in office and on the campaign trail.

“What’s ours is ours, and what’s yours is ours, too.”
If he were honest he would have told Walters.
Look, I just wanted to be the first black president. I didn’t think they really expected me to work. I wanted the perks ya know what I’m sayin. The vacations, golfing, AF1, everything whitie has.
Why do they think I have a teleprompter? I don’t know what I’m goin to say until it comes on the screen. I have aides and czars to do the work for me.
If you give me another four years I’ll see what they can do. I’m not makin any promises know what I’m sayin. If they fail me I can blame them for my loss.
Workers of the World Unite! or,
Socialism or Death!
“Is this thing on?”
“What does this button do?”
“Mic check!”
“Am I logged in?”
“Wait, I wasn’t ready.”
“We were the ones we were waiting for... till we got here.”
(guess we can't)
“We’re still working on it”. Hmm. Fitting slogan though not clear on what they’re working on.
Yes, "We’re still workin’ on it" beat out "Yes, we can," "We won, get over it," "We are the ones we've been waiting for," "We can't wait," "We got Osama," "We never need an excuse for a good party," "We have a lot more work to do," "We've been a little bit lazy," "We have lost our ambition," and "We haven't done enough yet" last month.
“We’re still workin’ on it”
"it" = destroying America
I’m still working on 2012 campaign slogan.
SEIU - Another way obuma calls the pigs.
“Obama 2012: America Scores an A-hole in One”.
“Hey, at least my golf game has improved! - Barack Obama 2012”
