Howard Dean: The Problem with the Obama Campaign is that it Needs a "Slogan"
I suppose this passes for liberal thinking nowadays. Don't look at the economic situation, don't examine Obamacare, don't consider the apology tour. Debt. What debt? All irrelevant. According to Howard Dean (on MSNBC), the only thing the Obama campaign needs (in lieu of a set of policies that work) is a slogan:
"He needs to condense his economic message to three or four words, and then repeat them every single day between now and the election. People fundamentally don't trust Mitt Romney; they believe he only cares about people who have great wealth, which is probably true."
"But the president's got to close the sale and the way to close the sale is to have a slogan and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it. He was doing very well right after the jobs speech. He needs to get back into that groove."
Some suggestions:
We're in a Ditch--But it's Fair
We Fixed the Economy--Next the Climate
Yes! We Can Be Like France!
Other suggestions or comments, please.

Re: Howard Dean: The Problem with the Obama Campaign is that it Needs a "Slogan"
Howard, Howard, Howard - once again, publicly defacing my home state of Vermont, a state that you once used to live in (but will never be from, Howard, no matter how much you'd like that to be true, flatlander), but have long since discarded for bigger dreams, aspirations, and a national setting in which to embarrass yourself. Again.
I guess Debbie-Vasserman-Schnitzel is not doing enough of a job as the DNC chair in terms of calling people names, which is what Dean has always excelled at. So instead of unleashing The Kraken, they unleash The Doctor. Yikes. How frightening. Next he'll give a lesson on balanced budgets to his superiors at this website who seem to have no idea how someone does that, even if Dead was able to pull that off years ago in VT - by studiously ignoring the unfunded pension liabilities, but hey, everyone's gotta make sacrifices.

Re: Howard Dean: The Problem with the Obama Campaign is that it Needs a "Slogan"
I've long thought the Obama administration's preferred slogan was,
"Meh. It could be worse."
For a more positive spin they could go with:
"We're not Greece yet! Obama 2012"

Ironically that idiot RINO Romney is actually his best argument.
"Vote for me or more of the same under a slightly different label!"
"RomneyCare vs. ObamaCare, at least with me you know who is screwing you over!"
That moron Romney needs to wise up fast. With unemployment over 8% he should be coasting to victory, yet he is such a closeted, insider fool he barely scrapes by.
Time will tell I suppose.
