Some say that the Obama campaign didn't dig deep enough to divulge the real meaning associated with his new campaign slogan "FORWARD".
The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.
But one might wonder about whether those surrounding this President didn't intentionally choose that word to convey their plans to achieve his goals during a possible second term:
The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.
New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism - Washington Times

It would seem implausible that his campaign would fail to research such an important word as part of a campaign. So,...was this an overlooked phenomenon, or simply an indication where a second Obama term would take this nation?

wow. the stretching is gone beyond ridiculous now.

I'm sure that if you took out a dictionary and blindly opened it to page and placed your finger on a word, you'd find that its been used negatively at least once.

Nope,....I just read the article from the link posted.

Might want to try some reading. That way your comments won't appear to be so foolish.

Is there a point to this thread? I don't see one. Do you agree? Disagree? Obama is far from being a Socialist. People that think he actually is a Socialist are ignorant at best.

You seem to be asserting that Marx or Engels own the word 'Forward', let me put your mind at rest, it's been a part of English since the 1590s from the O.E. foreweard meaning "toward the front," from fore + -ward. Just as using the phrase "living room" neither makes me a nazi nor an interior designer (although some argue that these two groups are one and the same!) merely using 'forward' does not equal marxism / leninism / Communism.

,....oh yeah, "spread the wealth",....carries no socialist connotation.

Obama's increasing government control over the energy sector, education, the economy, and healthcare certainly are capitalistic in nature? That shows a fair amount of ignorance on your part.

Dear Arus, you didn't read the link or you might find that the association was made by a Washington newpaper. They broached the subject,...I simply asked a pertinent question.

If the question is too difficult to address, please feel free to go elsewhere.
