Obama's 2012 campaign pitch: "Forward"

Obama's 2012 campaign pitch: "Forward"
April 30, 2012 9:54 AM -- CBS


Obama's newest theme is "Forward".

see the video too

(CBS News) In 2008, the Obama campaign was arguing for hope and change. This year, the president's re-election campaign is asking Americans to move keep moving forward.

President Obama's campaign on Monday released a seven-minute video entitled "Forward," which they're using to kick off the general election. The video reminds viewers of the dire state of the economy in early 2009, when Mr. Obama took office, and all that the president has accomplished since then -- even in the face of Republican obstruction.

Over images of everyday Americans, the video goes through a laundry list of Mr. Obama's accomplishments: the economic stimulus package he says saved as many as 4.2 million jobs, the end of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy discriminating against gays in the military, the end of the Iraq war, the changes to regulation of Wall Street and the credit card companies, the auto bailout and more. Over a picture of Mr. Obama, a narrator says, "Hard work, determination, real results."

But it seems they may have made another "mistake" here ??

Did somebody not know that "Forward" has long been associated with Marxism ??

I am sure they did !!

The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward!" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."

"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism

The campaign seems to hashing over all the same old rhetoric.

It's like they think they can somehow convince non-supporters to vote Obama.

The supporters already know all this, maybe that's why many are abandoning ship !!

A lot of things seem to be moving "Backwards"

Another Obama Boondoggle ?

If we keep going forward, we are going to be in an even bigger hole. I'd be more likely to back him (not that would ever happen) if his slogan was 'backwards.'

I also find it extremely interesting he would consider picking this slogan after people have been calling him a socialist for years.

All governments for the last century, regardless of president have been moving 'forward'.
Its just that forward is away from the rights of the people and towards what is virtually a dictatorship.

Obama is a puppet, just like the rest and the next and the one after that.

I personally want to go BACKWARD. I don't want to go forward off of the cliff.

There's a couple of slogan spoofs.

"Forward...off a cliff"

"Backward 2012"

I would like to go back to before the financial meltdown.

The conservative economic boom of the early 2000's was going good until the fibrillating palpitating ultra-liberal
Fanatical Radical muney mungers got a hold of it and killed the banks with the mortgage derivative markets.

It was the same system before the 'meltdown' and that system is designed to do what it is doing now.

There is not much you can do to change that apart from use a new system.

We'll keep moving forward. Right along to a new president that will screw us all over.
