‘No You Can’t. No You Shouldn’t. Don‘t Even Try’: Conan O’Brien Unveils Hilarious New Obama & Biden Campaign Slogans

Remember “Yes We Can,“ ”Hope,“ and ”Change We Can Believe In”?
Back in 2008, Team Obama ran a “slick,“ ”well-oiled” campaign. Nobody can deny that. From catchy slogans to eye-catching logos, they successfully marketed their product to 53 percent of America [of course, it helped that the alternative to Team Hopenchange was, um, "stale"].
However, a lot can happen in four years.
From the odd, off-putting, and slightly insulting “Life of Julia“ to ”Forward,” it appears Team Obama has lost some of its punch. And we’re not alone in this observation. Many on both sides of the political spectrum have noticed the Obama campaign’s tired and failed attempts to reconnect with voters.
Perhaps feeling a little sorry for them, late night comedian Conan O’Brien on Thursday decided to step in and offer Team Obama [free of charge!] a slew of campaign slogans much catchier than “Forward.”
These are the results [via TBS]:

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 9:21amOut of context; but, not untrue. Sometimes, without intending to, a liberal tells the truth. I know many good, average people who follow liberal doctrine. They mean well; but, just like the Jim Jones followers, they are misled and have not questioned the Pied Piper who is playing the toxic song of socialism.

Posted on July 27, 2012 at 11:19pmConan has been doing this a few times already. No doubt Obama will say it’s out of context again, but seeing how many of these Conan can find, it has to say something about how Obama and Biden really feel. It is refreshing to see Conan poke fun at the President, instead of just bashing conservatives like every other late night comedy show does. It’s for that reason that I keep watching. I suspect it was in response to a period of intense liberal propaganda that was on Conan when they were promoting gay marriage. Their ratings must have dropped from going to the left so extremely, so they’re trying to balance their material.

Posted on July 28, 2012 at 1:26amIt has to be ratified by a 2/3rds majority of the Senate first does it not ? The Dems simply do have the numbers to do that unless a large chunk of Repubs break with the party and vote with the Dems which IMO would be political suicide for the Repubs and likely for a good number of Dems.

Posted on July 28, 2012 at 12:03pmThere are already 50 signees that have said they will not ratify the treaty. I have also seen several commentaries by legal scholars that say that the Constitution’s preemption clause would make it a moot point anyway, as there is already established precedent from 1920 dictating that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land – not the UN. Note that this doesn’t absolve Obama from bringing any of this up – it actually just condemns him more as an anti-US voice and further condemns him as a liar for taking the oath of office.

Posted on July 27, 2012 at 8:08pmThe “You should vote for Mr. Romney” slogan would probably get Obama reelected. Has anyone been elected or reelected that was endorsed by Obama? Romney’s trust and approval ratings would plumbet. With a record low turnout and between the Democrat voter fraud and mindless liberals Obama could pull it off.

Posted on July 28, 2012 at 1:50amThere is no way around the constitution when it comes to the god given rights it enshrines. No treaty that ursurps those guaranteed rights is valid under the rule of law. That being said the only way the 2nd could be changed is through amendment (very unlikely to happen) or through a radical reinterpretation of what the 2nd means through a SCOTUS ruling (a real possibility considering what happened with the Obamacare decision). The key to securing a new interpretation rests with the next occupant of the WH who will likely get to nominate anywhere from 1 to 3 SC justices. That alone is yet another reason why this coming election (with 4 liberals already on the SC bench) is so darn crucial. If Obama wins the Republic is dead and buried within a decade (that includes the contitution IMO). Romney has to win or the USA is toast.
