Obama: A brand in search of a slogan
By DONOVAN SLACK | 4/7/12 7:00 PM EDT

Everyone knows what Barack Obama’s campaign slogan was in 2008. No one seems to know what it will be for 2012.

The White House has been cycling through catchphrases since announcing his reelection bid a year ago: Winning the Future, We Can’t Wait, An America Built to Last, An Economy Built to Last, A Fair Shot.

They seem to be looking for one to resonate — and the constant unveiling of new ones suggests that so far, none of them have. To communications experts, the kaleidoscope of slogans is the latest reflection of the difficulties finding and marketing a message that Obama has faced almost since his inauguration — another challenge that came with the shift from insurgent outsider to sitting president.

According to Tribune. BLAME IT ON BUSH!!!!

Higher gas prices cause less public anger this time
Several factors are behind the relative complacency now compared with the price surge of 2008, analysts say.

When the WH came out with "Win The Future"..it was hard to believe that none of the geniuses in the administration realized that what "WTF" also stood for...as Sarah Palin pointed out immediately.

So, what we FReepers need to do now is develope a new slogan for the administration..four words..with the initials FUBO...

His slogan should be “I resign immediately”.

How about “Broke and Deranged”?

Good one! "Grope and Detain".

Just like it's hard to believe that Obama, who was raised in Muslim culture, wouldn't be aware of the symbolism of being photographed in the Oval Office with his feet on the desk and his soles pointed to the camera.
