Yes, they went there and yes this slogan will be easy to make fun of.
Watch....
Change is: Higher Deficits
Change is: Higher National Debt
Change is: Higher Unemployment
Change is: Record Food Stamp Usage
Change is: Having the first President to sign a bill into law using the
auto-pen
Change is: Triple A credit downgrade
Here's my favorite so far...
Change is: Pathetic

:
Barack
Obama<http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/fact-check-obama-tv-ad-touts-record-on-ethics-clean-energy/>
campaigned
for president four years ago promising “change we can believe in.”
Now, he’s running for a second term touting the ways that “change is.”
The emerging slogan for the 2012 campaign, on display during a high-profileNew
York City
fundraiser<http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/obama-out-for-big-bucks-in-big-apple/>
Thursday
night, thrusts Obama’s social and domestic policy achievements to the
forefront of his re-election pitch.
And its appearance on new Obama-Biden campaign
merchandise<http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/11/obama-store-stocked-for-black-friday-goods-entirely-made-in-usa/>
and
apparel suggests the “change is” meme will likely be here to stay. (See a
new T-shirt featuring the slogan

.)
The messaging – unabashedly transcending criticism and disillusionment over
what Obama has not accomplished – raises the stakes of the election for
Obama supporters, reminding them that issues such as the health care law,
“don’t ask don’t tell” repeal, and federal student-loan aid could all be
rolled back if they don’t win.
“Everything we did over the last three years is now at stake in this
election,” Obama told a crowd at the Apollo Theater, a line he repeats
regularly<http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/obama-says-he-restored-americas-image-as-sole-indispensable-power/>
before
donors on the campaign trail.
That could be a losing strategy. Telling folks all the bad things that have
happened over the last three years, like high unemployment & record
long-term unemployment could be turned around might get Obama on the
unemployment line.
By touting a litany of the ways “change is,” Obama also complements his
economic message on the campaign trail, which has focused less on a defense
of his administration’s response to the recession and more on accentuating
a philosophical contrast with Republican candidates.
Obama's record is terrible and the numbers prove that. What's a president
to do? Try another catchy campaign slogan and ignore his record to attack
Republicans who haven't been in control since 2006.
Obama mentioned the word ‘change’ 26 times in his
speech<http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/obama-sings-soul-tune-in-harlem/>
before
1,400 fawning supporters at the Apollo Theater in Harlem Thursday. He
hailed seven policy accomplishments as “concrete examples” of promises from
2008 that have been fulfilled.
Wonder how many times Obama used his favorite word "I" in the speech?
