Responsible governing seems out of the question. He can’t very well go about calling himself a “jobs president,” not when this president keeps going out of his way to kill jobs. “Hope and Change” has become “Hope things change” or “Hope we change our president.” So…time for a new pitch.
Winning The Future. Greater Together. We Don’t Quit.
“We Don’t Quit” is a bit dangerous for the president whose policies are making it so that generations coming up behind the baby boomers can’t ever even think about retirement. “Winning The Future” was stolen from Newt Gingrich, but never mind that. “Greater Together”? That’s one for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, right?
They may not be official but those are all phrases that could in one form or another be candidates to become President Barack Obama’s re-election slogan.
Advisers say a fresh slogan to replace the winning “Change we can believe in” mantra of 2008, is unlikely to appear before Obama knows who his Republican opponent will be and starts big campaign travel swings, likely in the spring or summer.
His campaign posters now say simply, “Obama 2012.”
But Obama’s surrogates have roadtested some slogans in recent months, including “Winning The Future,” which the White House used to promote its budget, and “Greater Together,” which the campaign has used to brand its youth outreach effort.
A new tagline will have to reflect a new reality.
“Unsustainable debt.” No, can’t use that. “The economy is horrid and we’ll be bankrupt in a few years but, look, over there, free pills!” Could work but it’s too long. How about “Eh, you didn’t like your church or hospital or your conscience anyway”? Or maybe just a simpler “Freedom Was Overrated. And So Are Jobs.”
“I Love Communism; you will too.”
Very funny! How about ‘Keep hope alive!’
How about “It’s good to be the King” with a poster of Obama in a Mel Brooks style Louis XVI outfit…
We know what Obama already thinks of as his slogan: “I won.”
Obama: Because our march to the USSA is only halfway through.
“We are the Obama. Lower your shields and surrender your campaign. We will regulate your biological and technological distinctiveness to match our own. Your tax bracket will adapt to finance us. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”
Good, but too long for bumper stickers.
Now, if we put a Locutus rig on Obama’s face, and just put “We are the Obama” on it, it would probably get the point across.
“I am Ubiquitous of Oborg.”
Occupy Four More Years!
All your freedoms are belong to u\Us
how about
’666 in 2012′
or ‘really transparent this time, honest’.

or a pix of the real guy who had barry’s SS# in conn.,
or anything we can validate from our invisible man prez.

“Loathing America 2012″
I did it to you before, and I’ll do it to you again!
I forget who coined this, but, “Are you better off than you were four billion ago?”
I think you misspelled “trillion.”
Argh, I did at that.
I think his best chance is with: “I am not the anti-Christ.” Trouble is, it’s not believable.
How about:
Shiria, live it, love it, learn it
Rope A Dope and Chains
What’s a Few Trillion Between Friends (WAFTBF)
Sellin’ out The U.S. For Fun and Power
Invisible Man: I can make Trillions Disappear
I’m not Done Yet (IMNDY)
“You’re less racist than you were four years ago, but you’re still racist.”
Let’s, let’s stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Oooo oooo ooo ooo, yeah
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why somebody, why people break up
Oh, and turn around and make up
I just can’t seeeeeeeee
You’d never do that to me
(Would you baby)
‘Cause being around you is all I see
It’s why I want us to
There is a great line from another Mel Brooks movie, Blazing Saddles, spoken by Cleavon Little when he arrives in Rock Ridge, that would make a great bumper sticker.
“Oh Baby, you are so talented. And they are so Dumb”
“Just getting the hang of it”
“Staying for the back 9″
Obama: For Marx, Mohammed and Mendacity
We Are the Ones We Are Still Waiting For
Spare Change You Can Believe In
Obama 2012: Bringing the Chickens Home to Roost

Spreading The Wealth From You To My Political Cronies Since 2009.
“Hoax and Chains”, “Obey your TBTF Democratic overlords”, “Bow down before God Emperor Obama” and “Economic Collapse – Change your getting” are all accurate but may not poll well.
“God damn America” will play well to the base, “Serfdom for the 99%” will play well to Wall Street doners.
However I think “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” will win out in the end.
To borrow a line of music from M*A*S*H — “Suicide is Painless”.
Winning The Future is still my favorite. I’ll donate the time nd money for Obama 2012–WTF pins and bumper stickers.
Don’t Stop Believing
(No really, we’ll make it work this time, we just need another four years for that hope and change to finally happen, please, please, please re-elect me.)
Just like Bush, only more so!
“Do you people think you could start measuring up?”
“Trust me–If I could find a better country to go run, I would.”
Barak for king – because you are sooooooooooooooo gullible.
Like food stamps and Martha’s Vineyard – some things just belong together!
“Because Michelle has more vacations she needs to take. At taxpayer expense.”
Let’s fool them twice. Shame on them.
“Bong hits for Barack”
/’cuz only the stoner vote can get him elected
BOHICA is the traditional concept in a case like this and it fits easily into a bumper sticker, a highly appropriate location. So President Gutsy might start using it, and ear gauge-wearing imbeciles on Occupy _________ might like it.
BOHICA – better off here in California?
“Don’t just settle for a lesser future. Demand it. Obama 2012.”
“Spend all you want. We’ll borrow more.”
(homage to Dorito’s commercial)
A couple of ideas for his highness:
- Socialism – WTF
- Haven’t met a dollar I can’t spend
- My name is what…my name is… (with apologies to Eminem; Barry Davis? Dunham? Soetero?)
- I deserve another term!
- The country is only halfway to serfdom, I can get us across the finish line.
- Because I’m likeable enough
- Affirmative Action in Action
