'Forward' is Nearly Perfect Campaign Slogan for President Obama

COMMENTARY | President Barack Obama's campaign staff has released the president's new campaign slogan, according to the Associated Press. "Forward" will be the simple statement President Obama will wrap his campaign around. As someone who studies politics, I see it very fitting that the president would use this word as his slogan.

The goal of the new "Forward" slogan is twofold in that the president believes he will move the country forward and that there is still more work to do in the future. Oddly, he might not have had so much work to do in the future if he had not forced seven months of congressional debate over a health care package instead of working on the creation of jobs. When you add on the five months of debating over the failed stimulus package, we see how at least a year of President Obama's term was wasted.

The first four years of President Obama has already personified "Forward."

Instead of doing what he can to decrease the amount of debt the U.S. owes, he has acquired more debt so we can push our problems forward to another generation. We have the ability to move forward as a country through his infamous $800 billion loan from China, but we will be paying for it again in the future.

Who thought this up?

Dan "Courage" Rather?

Stan "Excelsior" Lee?

If they really want to go the one word catch phrase route, Homer Simpson's comes to mind ...

Great minds...haha. I wish the “over the cliff” part wasn’t true, though.

FORWARD is so very traditionally communist I’m surprised it’s taken them this long to seize upon it.

Yeah...forward to 1912

It's all in your perspective.

On January 4, 1905, the first issue of the Bolshevik newspaper Vperyod (Forward) appeared.

Obama is unbelievable. “Forward Workers!” is a traditional communist rallying cry, which of course Obama knows full well. Lenin and Trotsky both used it in their writings, and you still see modern communists use it. It’s kind of a dog whistle for radical lefties, along the lines of “What is to be done?”

Move “forward” as quickly as quickly as possible because we don’t want to look back at the terrible job that we have done. Oh yeah, and blame Bush.
