Obama struggles with campaign theme

By Niall Stanage and Amie Parnes - 05/28/12 05:00 PM ET



President Obama’s campaign has yet to find a clear 2012 reelection slogan that carries the heft of 2008’s “Change You Can Believe In,” raising worries among his supporters — and hopes among Republicans — that he is having trouble articulating a concise case for a second term.

“It’s a problem because in 2008 he had an absolute winner of a slogan in ‘hope and change,’ ” said Tobe Berkovitz, a Boston University professor and expert on political advertising. “It said it all, and the things that he has tried so far this time haven’t worked in the same way.”

To really go "Forward" you have to "Barakward".

Borrow and Kick the can?

Forward? Even my super liberal boss couldn't remember what is was the other day. Upward? Onward?

Forward? So Obama is finally going to shift out of neutral? Nice to know the last four years we were just warming up the economic engine in the driveway.

Yet the economy growth is going backward...how ironic.

Pretty sad, isn't it? This union actually elected a president because he had a catchy slogan and one of his perceived problems this time around is that he can't come up with a catchy jingle to sell a bad product?

To boldly go where no one wants too.

Ha, fooled ya gimme another chance.

Look what change I brought ya.

My wife likes gardening, you can too.
