— Ace It just so happens that MSNBC crafted its own slogan a year or so back, and that was "Lean Forward."
So this is the one-word slogan to replace 2008's "Change."
More honest would be "Downward:"

Or maybe Upward, if we're talking debt.
RD did this one:

And this one too:

That's why it's only one word. They'd nearly hit their syllable limit for the slogan.

You know, I read that and I can just see the poster of Obama staring off into the middle distance, chin slightly raised, a look of deep contemplation on his face, standing in front of some Greek columns.
And then I get a deep burning desire to go punch a hippie in the face.

Ace:..."It just so happens that MSNBC crafted its own slogan a year or so back, and that was "Lean Forward.""
They're still using that, aren't they? ....I don't know, because I don't watch'em.
But I thought that MSNBC thing, was in response to Fox's slogan about "We keep moving forward, not standing still" ....something like that.

OK, am I wrong or would liberals see Khan as the good guy in Star Trek II. Poor guy was stranded on a planet just for the minor sin of wanting to kill Kirk and his crew. Plus, he's super intelligent, so he's meant to rule.
Kirk is just a cowboy who thinks he knows better than a more educated person like Khan. And he left a son with daddy issues. We know that liberals all hate their daddies.

Sounds great but what the hell does it mean? It is something that everyone agrees is good, yet it means nothing. Forward to "what"? Change to "what"?
Forward off the cliff? Forward into the flames?

From Wikipedia:
Forward (generic name of socialist publications)
The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other leftwing newspapers and publications. For example, Vpered (Russian language for "Forward") was the name of the publication that Lenin started after having resigned from the Iskra editorial board in 1905 after a clash with Georgi Plekhanov and the Mensheviks.

They must be playing "Desperado" over and over again to come up with this catchy phrase. "I need four more years to completely destroy America" is the definition of "foreward." In reality it is "Fourward."
