Gotta give ’em credit: They don’t know when they’re beaten. They don’t know when they’re winning, either. They have no sort of sensory apparatus whatsoever.
It looks like the Obama campaign may have settled on its slogan for the 2012 election: “Forward.”
Four years ago Barack Obama ran on another one-word slogan, “Change.” Now, as President Obama prepares to hold the first public campaign rallies for his reelection, his team is giving a sense of what his pitch to votes will look like.
And they’ve started yet another dopey Twitter hashtag, #Forward, giving their opponents yet another opportunity to mock and deride them for their failures.
How did you bend at tax time? #Forward.

If I may be so #Forward, Obama eats dogs. #ObamaEatsDogs

There’s a cliff in front of us. What gear is @BarackObama in? #Forward

Under Obama’s budget, Americans can look #FORWARD to a projected debt of $25.9 trillion by 2022.

Let’s not closely examine the promises, decisions and results of the past three and a half years. Let’s just look #FORWARD

I’m looking #Forward to having a president who doesn’t refer to me as an “enemy.”

Obama’s new slogan is #FORWARD. And, like most forwards, this one will go in the trash.

When Politico’s Mike Allen is mocking Obama’s #Forward as an @MSNBC rip-off, you know he’s in trouble.

Join the fun! Tell your friends on Twitter what you think of #Forward. I look… um, I can’t wait to see it!
Update: Vorwärts!
