Forward March!

The Obama campaign late last week unveiled their new campaign slogan for 2012:  Forward (this is not adapted from a Christopher Buckley novel).  Obviously the slogan is ripe for attacks, with the most obvious being the fact that socialist movements of the past used the exact same word as a rallying cry.  And of course, Forward, just like its predecessor Change, is a neutral word and tells us nothing about whether going Forward is good or bad (people seem to forget that there was a time that the most forward-looking thinking regarding race was that blacks were not and could never be equal to whites).  For Progressives like Obama, History is moving like a freight train and we just have to do our best to hold on for dear life.  Unlike earlier Progressives though, Obama can no longer be sure where the train is taking us.

Anyway, Steve Hayward posted some funny pictures making light of the new slogan.  This is the best one:
