Obama: Looking for a new Catch-phrase


From Reuters.com:

By Jeff Mason

WASHINGTON, Feb 18 (Reuters) – Winning The Future. Greater Together. We Don’t Quit.

They may not be official but those are all phrases that could in one form or another be candidates to become President Barack Obama’s re-election slogan.

Advisers say a fresh slogan to replace the winning “Change we can believe in” mantra of 2008, is unlikely to appear before Obama knows who his Republican opponent will be and starts big campaign travel swings, likely in the spring or summer.

His campaign posters now say simply, “Obama 2012.”

But Obama’s surrogates have roadtested some slogans in recent months, including “Winning The Future,” which the White House used to promote its budget, and “Greater Together,” which the campaign has used to brand its youth outreach effort.

I say: let’s help Mr Obama with his new catch-phrase because, after all, “hope and change” seems, now, to be so terribly passe, languid and, frankly, at least 50% inaccurate. That “hope” part. “Change” you got: all the change you had, turned upside down and your pockets emptied.

What’s your suggestion for Mr Obama’s new 2012 election slogan? Think: witty and pithy.
