Forward, March!

According to Politico, the Obama campaign’s new video, titled “Forward,” may in fact prefigure a new Obama campaign slogan.

The most famous modern use of “Forward” to characterize a major political effort was in the “Great Leap Forward,” in China, sixty years ago. We know President Obama has lamented that he’s not president of China, because it’s so much easier to run things there. Is there a little sublimated wishful thinking in his choice of his new campaign slogan?
