The President announced his re-election bid yesterday and suddenly cares about progressives again, wanting us to sign up, donate and volunteer to get him re-elected (evidently, the Republicans and conserva-dems he's been wooing for the last two years don't want to return the affection). In that spirit, I'm proposing a list of possible campaign slogans. These slogans are designed to avoid the problems of setting unrealistic expectations in the minds of progressives. The soaring rhetoric of 2008 followed by two years of premature compromise and near-reflexive cave-ins was demoralizing for his base, which contributed to his lackluster 2010 performance.
With that in mind, here are my suggestions for honest 2012 campaign slogans that will set more reasonable, lower, expectations:
Obama 2012: Aw C'mon Guys! (formerly "Yes We Can!")
Obama 2012: Change you can make believe in
Obama 2012: You'll get used to being thrown under the bus soon enough and the tire tracks go nicely with what you're wearing.
Obama 2012: Hoping the Republicans run a really batshit crazy candidate
Obama 2012: Change you can see if you look really hard
Obama 2012: Buck up, you whiner!
Obama 2012: You're getting very sleepy. You will forget the last term happened. When you wake, it will be 2008 again...
Obama 2012: Next time, we'll make the Republicans negotiate before each cave in
Obama 2012: Hoping Lincoln was right, that you can fool some of the people all of the time
Obama 2012: Who else are you gonna vote for, bitch?
Obama 2012: The Lesser of Two Evils
Obama 2012: Hope for Change
Obama 2012: 3rd Party? Yeah, right!
Please add to the list.
