Well, it appears Obama has hired the same geniuses that came up with "What Can Brown Do For You?" to promote his new campaign slogan.

It's not the worst ... yet.

1976 Jimmy Carter - "Not Just Peanuts" (wtf?)
1920 Warren Harding - "Cox and Cocktails" (wtf x2)
1884 James Blaine - "Ma, Ma, Where’s my Pa, Gone to the White House, Ha, Ha, Ha"

    Apparently it refereed to the out-of-wedlock child his opponent, Grover Cleveland, allegedly had fathered. :D

    I actually like it. It is simple. Can mean a lot of things...progressing forward...forward thinking...future not the past...I think this was pretty smart

    i guess "forward" beats "backward 50 years" or simply "REGRESSIVE!" that the republicans seem to be going for.... but then again maybe not..just look at the tax rates 50 years ago :lol:

    but... but ...
    the FIRST sentence in the article insinuates it was just stupidity and lack of research that caused this "coincidence" ... what exactly are you insinuating? all my thinly carved self-deceptions sheltering me from the realities of the world i live in are starting to crumble. noOOOoooOO!
    The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I'm insinuating that the obismal regime knew what they were doing in picking their "new" slogan...the article simply stated communists/socialists have had a history of using "forward" as a slogan...at least they didn't choose "lean forward"...now where have I seen that before
