(2008-09-16) — With intense pressure to raise money because he decided to forgo public-funding of his presidential campaign, Barack Obama has altered his slogan from “Change We Can Believe In” to a more direct appeal inspired by the distinctive speech patterns of Yoda, from the Star Wars movies.
“Change We Need“, now appears on the podium placard in front of Sen. Obama as he reads from his TelePromTer to crowds of supporters almost as enthusiastic as those turning out to see Gov. Sarah Palin.
The Democrat presidential nominee said he thought of the new slogan while screening the animated Star Wars movie “The Clone Wars.”
“Thinking, I was,” said Sen. Obama, “Change we need, checks we also accept. Expensive, campaigning is. Hmmm? Yes. Expensive.”

Interestingly enough many of his donations end in various amounts of change, not even dollar amounts like McCain’s. Now why would that be…

Obama persuaded easily. Change mind for money he did. Often how. Winds Blow when? Gaza brothers come.

Scott, great stuff as usual, however I think you might have made a slight mistake in your reporting in the second paragraph. Shouldn’t it read, ” crowds of reporters almost as enthusiastic as those supporters turning out to see Gov. Sarah Palin”? Wondering I am.

Clones they are, and dangerous. Remember CCCP-O.
