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 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 thought the same! Now we are finding here more about the origin of the slogan....

PING..everyone saved it!!

I just saved the pics in #38 and #39, attached them to an e-mail to my friends and shot it into cyberspace. Add a few words explaining the origin and its latest use. Do it. Make it viral.

Watched this story hit on several threads and tried to make a start in collecting the research for Freepers to evaluate and carry forward.

Penelopesire: Good; I on my end, also. We don’t have it pinned down yet, but our collective nose is overwhelmed.

If the Wellstone memorial sunk an election...we can only hope the BHO adm’s attempt to politicize a memorial, albeit more sophisticated, has exceeded all the hubris the American people are willing to tolerate.

BTW: Mark Levin played Reagan’s Challenger address tonight & his audience had an opportunity to remember what a true President, knowing and loving the whole people of these United States, sounds like:

Great! I’ve sent it now to a couple of other places in the conservative blogosphere. I do think we should look into the T shirt vendor too. These libs like to pay off supporters and syncophants with ‘jobs’ and stimulus money...and God knows what else.

Youth Monument is connected to a hollywood outfit called Curious Gypsy...they are probably part of the studios but what they do is sell clothes to the sheeple that stars wear in movies from what I can tell. I would provide links but I’m on my laptop and hate trying to copy and paste on this thing...lol.

This was probably paid for by some leftist hollywood backer of Obama’s. ????? Check out their page on a google search..lots of ‘giveaways’ that they are liberals.

Young Frankenstein. The lyrics below the pic are the monster (Peter Boyle) trying to sing "puttin' on the Ritz!"

I'm sorry but as I watched last night I began to expect them to roll out Gabby to bat her eye lashes at 0bamessiah while the whole place broke into song. Terrible, I know, but the whole thing reeked of 19th Century tent revival/Hollywood musical.

I think that pic was from a play. The movie was in black and white.

You know, the unity Obama wants is not just to stultify debate. Obama wants the kind of unity they had in 1930 Germany. Lockstep unity, and abandonment of all logic, so he can proceed with his totalitarian Utopian agenda.

No joke , that.

We want debate, even if we “turn on each other”.

Turning on each other is a lot better than being under the boot heel of an Obama 4th Reich. I will fight that to the death.

UNITY INDEED. ( Together we thrive? ...Blech...Puke...wretch...barf).

We need uity provided by the constitution, not by some A$$ hat, wanna be president, who has cankles for a heart, and affirmative action shite for brains.

A POX ON HIM!
