Together We Thrive (Organizing for America Campaign Trial Balloon from 2008?)
Organizing for America- BarackObama.com ^ | Feb 2008

Posted on 01/13/2011 4:38:48 PM PST by mnehring

For too long Americans have been set one against the other, it is a side affect of a free market society. How can profits be maximized, how can I get the work done for the lowest possible costs. This continually sets one group against the other, especially in the blue collar sectors of America. It has become a part of the American Business model, whether it was indentured servants, slaves picking cotton, sharecroppers, the industrious people that built the railroads or todays migrant workers. As long as we remain divided, fighting for the scraps that America has to offer it will be one group against the other.

What I see in Obama is a chance for a revolution. A chance for every group to participate and be heard; A chance to live the American dream that has been denied to so many. Together we can and will change the world and return America to the shining beacon of Hope and Prosperity that we were and that we can be again. Only when we work together do we accomplish feats that rival any ever accomplished in the history of mankind. Diversity is our strength, that is what this campaign brings us a promise of. For many this is a scary prospect and thought, getting to know someone different from myself. We all want the same basic things for example a safe place to live, health and a quality education for our kids.

In a previous career, I was the global leader of Diversity for a global fortune 500 corporation, I have studied the affects of diverse groups working together and the results can not be denied. Together we Thrive!!!!!!!!!!!

I found several instances of Organizing for America floating the phrase "Together We Thrive" as early as 2008.

Have they been floating/trial ballooning campaign slogans?

Slogans don't just magically appear, nor, would one expect an event headlined by the President not to have his blessing or even touch on the theme.

It's a 'floater', all right. Needs a good flush. We cannot allow these communist rats to control the language and the terms of debate.

Is this a joke? The first paragraph lists all the things the writer feels have been and are now wrong with the US., then the second paragraph talks about returning to the glory that the US had in it’s past.

What a coincidence that this slogan was used for the T-shirts...and of course Obama knew nothing about it.

Busted again, eh, Barky?

Okay - this needs to be forwarded to Krauthammer, Hume, Beck, Jonah Goldberg - and all the other nitwits in the media who acknowledge that the rally atmosphere of the "memorial" was inappropriate but claim Obama had no control over it and is therefore not responsible.

The idea that Obama and his minions had no clue that holding a memorial in a college stadium filled with his loyal devotees and classless college students wouldn't have a rally atmosphere is laughable. Not to mention the fact that the Presidential Seal was all over that venue. How naive can anyone be?

I have been chewing on this word “thrive” ever since I saw the dumb slogan and wondering who the heck thought it was a brilliant word for a bunch of people recovering from tragedy.

I just did a quick trademark search. It appears that "together we thrive" is owned by a credit union called Coast 360 out of Guam - random, right? Anyways, the trademark application was made in September of last year, from what I can tell.

Combat_Boots collected a lot of interesting info on the Beck TV Thread. They seem to be tied to Change.org among other things.

The “memorial” was the unveiling of the newest get Obama elected on taxpayer money scam.

"It has become a part of the American Business model, whether it was indentured servants, slaves picking cotton, sharecroppers... "

...navel-gazing imbeciles writing inane, vacuous, appropos to nothing bullsh*t like this...

I don't know who the author was who penned this drivel, but I think it's pretty obvious why he didn't take credit for it by listing his name. This brain-dead crap might impress glue-sniffing, crack-smoking O'Bunghole voters, but people with even marginally functional brainwaves will immediately realize that this "Rosnoz globclots" mumbledy-gook is nothing more that a strung-together train-wreck-of-consciousness pile of garbage. Steaming puke.

These imbeciles actually believe they're the smart ones in the room. Like a starving chimp who has figured out how to stack the crates to get at the bananas. Okay, so you get a snack... you're still a smelly chimp with your bulbous red hemmorhoids flapping in public. Nice. You go, Bonzo.

LMAO
