It always shocked shocked we wanted to take a bit of -- stroll down memory Elaine a political -- realigned.

And -- -- all of President Obama is slogans administrative and campaign slogans that just didn't.

Staying power now we are remember the original what that -- worked the president disrupt an office arguing for hope.

And change.

That was -- I think we have to agree -- winner.

-- I've never understood however what that -- hope and change -- all hope we wanted to change but.

It seemed like -- should have been a higher order -- specificity -- somehow does it work so who's to argue.

Well since the president now has to campaign on his record is campaign is struggling to find a good fit to.

But to encapsulate.

And to hold.

Well the hopes of his reelection bid.

Last year they tried out.

I and I like this one a lot.

Winning.

Remember this one winning.

The future.

And that's got -- win the future.

Again lacking a certain specificity and it quickly disappeared the polls apparently not showing the president's campaign staff what they wanted to hear.

It was replace what I think frankly have more negative.

This was -- really negative slogan.

-- but it rationalized and so many clever -- what the president was doing with executive orders and moving ahead and not bothering to consult with anybody.

Remember this one.

We can't.

-- -- -- We've all felt that way at a restaurant Waterford might be we can't wait that's -- captures the frustration but probably not the perfect campaign slogan.

And the Republicans quickly pounced on that -- pointing out the president.

-- democratic majorities in congress -- the first two years.

His presidency so bad apple lost a little something.

-- negativity and the fact that it didn't comport to reality.

Then in December we heard and this one.

This one is theory.

-- there.

Clearer shot.

And -- -- -- -- -- That's a little wordy.

Sort of sounds like something that maybe Andrew Jackson would have been using.

-- while back.

Just a month later gonna move past that then decided to instead -- view.

And America.

And America.

-- I'm not you know this I will be paying attention to all of this over the course of these month and America built.

The last.

Now.

I don't know about you but kind of -- America was built the last no matter who was in the White House.

This sort of -- -- a question.

Are we -- the last.

And then he decided to go a little Detroit office.

He is sort of focusing a little more on the economy so he just changed it to.

An economy.

Built.

Two last.

And that kind of disappeared two as a maverick -- rather quick order which raised the crashed.

If they sort of abandoned us for this.

We bring it and America built the last.

They just went to the economy sort of raised the question is -- because they don't expect to be able to guarantee America will last.

He got confusing.

So the president's.

Consultants -- campaign spokesman to work and they came up with a new slogan one that captures the spirit of America and and this president's hopes for reelection -- us.

I believe that this country succeeds when.

Repair shop.

All there it is.

-- no word.

Forward.

I gotta tell I knowing that you're probably is excited and as I am -- millions of Americans.

For murder.

Forward.

As a certain agreeing to a but it sort of cries out for some company doesn't -- it's hard to being criticized as a ripple -- -- MSNBC's.

I think dynamic motto that it is being campaigning -- Leaned forward.

I've always liked that leaned forward you don't have to really go anywhere you just leaned forward.

Forward you don't have even blame -- just forward so we hear this president his campaign staff at least needs it suggestion to.

So I thought I'd just offer our Koppel and nobody has to give up any of us here Lou Dobbs and I -- Fox Business credit you know we're -- -- -- -- we.

-- please help -- so.

We think that if you're gonna be forward.

How about on work.

That's also good.

It save you one letter to kind of nice positive -- And if this doesn't really capture the spirit of it how about this now governor Romney can use this to mean if he gets really desperate.

You're -- welcome to.

Tao Li -- hope.

And does that covered grabbed.

I have -- one would love to hear from me about what you think just just what you think in nice kind.
