It’s Official: Obama’s New Meaningless Campaign Slogan For 2012 Is . . . Drumroll, Please . . . “Change Is”…
He couldn’t have picked an easier one for us to mock if he tried.
Yes We Did: Obama Deploys ‘Change Is’ Slogan — ABC News
Barack Obama campaigned for president four years ago promising “change we can believe in.”
Now, he’s running for a second term touting the ways that “change is.”
The emerging slogan for the 2012 campaign, on display during a high-profile New York City fundraiser Thursday night, thrusts Obama’s social and domestic policy achievements to the forefront of his re-election pitch.
And its appearance on new Obama-Biden campaign merchandise and apparel suggests the “change is” meme will likely be here to stay.
The messaging — unabashedly transcending criticism and disillusionment over what Obama has not accomplished — raises the stakes of the election for Obama supporters, reminding them that issues such as the health care law, “don’t ask don’t tell” repeal, and federal student-loan aid could all be rolled back if they don’t win.
“Everything we did over the last three years is now at stake in this election,” Obama told a crowd at the Apollo Theater, a line he repeats regularly before donors on the campaign trail.
By touting a litany of the ways “change is,” Obama also complements his economic message on the campaign trail, which has focused less on a defense of his administration’s response to the recession and more on accentuating a philosophical contrast with Republican candidates.
Obama mentioned the word ‘change’ 26 times in his speech before 1,400 fawning supporters at the Apollo Theater in Harlem Thursday. He hailed seven policy accomplishments as “concrete examples” of promises from 2008 that have been fulfilled.
He also promised to affect additional “change” in the next five years if voters agree to give him a second term in November.
I’m guessing this will be an ongoing thing for the foreseeable future. Here’s a few off the top of my head.
Change is . . . a S&P AA credit rating.
Change is . . . 8.9% unemployment rate.
Change is . . . 13 million Americans out of work.
I won’t hog them all, let’s hear what you guys have.

Slick Willie said:
“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the–if he–if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not–that is one thing.”
They only t-shirt worth owning is one that says:
Obama WAS president until November 2012
With all the money that the bastards have been ripping us off for, you would think that they could afford a whole slogan.
If I had one of those shirts I’d scratch out the words and write Pool’s Closed.
Hey pal, can ya spare a dime?

“Change is…” reminds me of the little cartoons from the 70′s: “Happiness Is…” with the boy and girl (nude, representing innocence).
This Obama campaign idea would be the opposite of the innocence portrayed in the original.
Spoof away!
Change is apples in my McDonald’s Happy Meal.

I guarantee, even at its runniest, it’s a lot more substantial than Obama’s slogan.
Change is the hatred in my heart that I never knew existed because of these mother fuckers.
“Obama supporters, reminding them that issues such as the health care law, “don’t ask don’t tell” repeal, and federal student-loan aid could all be rolled back if they don’t win.”
Well is the president and his administration are trying to make policies that the majority of the American “citizens” not illegal aliens approve of why would they be rolled back???????????????????
Because Obama is far left and no one approves of these policies!
Let’s put the following questions on the next state and federal elections!
• Do you support Obama care? Yes or no
• Do you support student loan aid? Yes or no
• Do you support don’t ask don’t tell? Yes or no
• Do you support Awarded $1.2 Billion to Black Farmers (pigford)
• Do you support giving $850 million Expanded Funding for HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities? Yes or no
• Do you support The Crack Cocaine Bill fair sentencing act (Crack users are disproportionately sentenced then powder, African Americans use more Crack cocaine than Whites which use powdered? Yes or no
• ETC.
• Etc.
Change is having a dictator instead of a president.
Change is in my blood pressure.
Change is a Muslim in the White House!
Change is an anti-American in the White House!
Change is enemy ass kisser in the White House!
Change is a foreigner in the White House!

Change is…a meaningless communist slogan.
Huh… It doesn’t make a damn bit of sense. Plouffe’s apparently having a hard time this campaign go around.
Change is…
being dumb enough to open his new campaign slogan with a t-shirt that votes “present.”
He looks like Che in that pose.
How many cotten plants died to make that attrocuous T-Shirt?

Change is an ordeal (borrowed from Eric Hoffer from the title of one of his books – The Ordeal of Change).
Sorry, for a moment there I thought that was mass murderer on the T-shirt. Boy was that spooky or what? Now it looks a little better – a white guy on a black T-shirt. Oh well, black is an appropriate color for what he has planned for America. Oops! Is that a racist comment? Can we still use the word black?
Is DHS listening, illegal immigration, solyndra, mooch, golf links, single payor, cash for clunkers, food stamp president, communist….
Secret prayer: Praise the L and Pass the A.

Change is…..what’s left in the pockets of American taxpayers after Obama has redistributed all the dollars we had earned working for an honest living.
A GOOD change would be the indictment of the whole Democratic party on sedition and treason, then have the whole lot of them rot in prison.

Why would anyone do this let alone the CEO of the citizen’s country?
