Obama's new campaign slogan: "Forward, and Over the Cliff."

[OtherCheek]

Actually, his new slogan is simply "Forward." But the word "Forward" by itself could mean anything. What is the "direction" is the question that concerns me.

I think an excellent counter campaign slogan might be "Direction First."

[Seasanctuary]

Or 'Upwards'.

Which would seem pretty ironic coming from the GOP's etch-a-sketch candidate, Romney, doncha think?

Yep. Excellent fodder for political cartoons.

Almost anything can be fodder for political cartoons.

OC, why do you make so many potshots at the President?

[Darth Executor]

In his defense, it's much better than "we are the ones we've been waiting for".

True, but this is like lobbing a slow-pitch softball across the plate.

[Ansgar Seraph]

It's a well-made ad; towing a decent line between negative and positive reinforcement. "Forward" takes 2008 as a starting point, lays out the areas that the president has moved the nation forward (see vertical ticker near end of ad) and paints the Republican opposition as trying to prevent any forward progress. It won't make any converts, in and of itself, but it seems to be a direct response to the Republican attack that "this is a president who cannot run on his record."

Because I see him as a real danger to the American way of life. About the only good thing I can say about him is that he has been faithful to his wife, and his marriage vows. That goes a long way too. But I don't see anything good coming down the road if we embrace his political policies.

I originally saw the slogan as "just a word". But it seems there is a history behind that "word", at least in the eyes of this writer:

Don't tell these guys.

Those dangers we face are separate from who our president is and the supposed danger of Obama's policies has been consistently overblown.

You want us to be successful? To truly have the best shot at staying dominant in the future? Universal Health Care and Education.

Cause he's a smart voter?

"Forward" is also Wisconsin's State Motto.

Then again, we were a major hotbed for the Progressive movement in the United States, home to such great men as Robert 'Fighting Bob' La Follette Sr.
