President Obama’s faded 2008 cheer of “change” and “hope” are making a comeback on the campaign trail even as the Obama-Biden reelection campaign is desperately seeking a new political slogan. […]
That’s exactly what Obama’s surrogates are doing. “What we did actually is working; not enough, but a very, very significant march to total recovery,” Biden told Democratic activists in New Hampshire. He then delivered the 2008 kicker: “We’re beginning to restore hope.”
Change was handled by the first lady. Discussing her husband’s vision for a second term while in Ohio last week, she said, “this journey is going to be long, and there will be plenty of twists and turns along the way.” Then she raised the 2008 campaign catchword. “The reality is that change is slow. Real change never happens all at once.”
Obama also used the “change we can believe in” mantra in heralding her husband’s successes, such as on health care, naming two liberal judges to the Supreme Court and lifting “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Asked the first lady, “Will we continue all the change we’ve begun and the progress we’ve made, or will we allow everything we’ve fought for to just slip away?”
