Is Obama's 2008 Campaign Slogan of 'Hope and Change' Still Real or Is It Laughable?

There are ugly ads and dirty politics on both sides this year for the 2012 presidential election. Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter has been accused of lying of her knowledge of the the latest attack ad's contents.

In case you missed it, there was an Obama Super PAC ad trying to link Romney to a woman's death from cancer because he ran a business that needed to close a factory. A man lost his health insurance and his wife died because they could not afford the treatment. Hanging that on Mitt Romney is a horrific claim. Even Democrats agree. In fact, it seems like the lowest form of dirty politics we have seen in recent memory.

I would expect this sort of thing from most politicians but it was coming from the guy whose 2008 campaign slogan was "Hope and Change." Maybe he meant "I hope not to change anything in Washington" -- because that's what it looking like. Do you still believe that Obama is trying to change the culture of Washington in a positive way or is it more business as usual?

FOXNEWS.COM reports:
Mitt Romney asked Thursday where all the hope and change has gone, as President Obama's supporters pressed ahead with plans to air a misleading TV ad and a top campaign aide was accused of lying about her knowledge of its contents.

    I dont understand why you are so opposed to President Obama...FYI....this country was already in so much debt and depression from Bush's administration, that President Obama has managed to repair a lot of things...If many of President Obama's campaign slogans haven't come true, it really isn't his fault...he has the ideas but unfortunately we all should know that any type of new orders has to be taken into consideration by a lot of people before it can be approved and signed by the president making it legit, and unfortunately many of the people who have to be taken into consideration are Republicans therefore majority of the ideas President Obama (Democrat) are stopped before they even have a chance...somehow no one ever wondered "How much more lies has he got up his deceiving sleeve?" when a man who began a war, killed thousands of people due to the war and who forced the USA into even more debt his second term as President was elected 2 times. AND NO ONE JUDGED OR SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!! Unfortunately many people are very judgmental and even in this century we still have a lot of racist and closed minded people who believe that for some reason instead of moving forward this country should be forced back 50yrs. President Obama should be re-elected and be given a chance to not only move this country forward but also do more good for this country.

    I couldn't believe he won last time everyone I talked to said he didn't have nough experience and would Not vote for him but I heard a lot of deceased people voted for him. If he makes it this year our polls r in desperate need of repair especially after what he has done to destroy our country and put us futher in debt force us to buy something or be taxed. How much more lies has he got up his decieving sleeve??? What a butt hole face to boot!!!!

    No offense but I think you have the wording wrong.

    It should read, "Hope for Change"

    That's all Obama thinks you deserve.

    It would be funny were it not so outrageous. "Hope and change" turned out to be "I hope you die and I'm gonna change the law to make sure that you will always be in violation!"

    It was rather Laughable back in 2008 to anyone that noticed he had no actual plans or Idea what he was going to do or what even really needed help but if enough Zombies chant HOPE and CHANGE i guess that's all you needed then.

    Now it is like an off color joke, not funny in the least, rather offensive to most and just makes him look bad repeating it.

    If the far right GOP would let him do his job and stop blocking everything positive, it can get done. 200 effective blocks through filibusters from Jan 20th, 2009 to Jan. 1st, 2011 and a complete shut off following. You cannot say his policies since he is not able to do anything because of the party of "NO!!!"

    I guess you didn't notice that Barry had a Democrat congroled congress for his first two years... and the passage of all of his proposals, bills and advocacies led to the massive rejection of the Democrat adgenda in the 2010 election. You obviously ignore the dozens of bipartisan bills that both the GOP and the Dems DID pass and the 30 job creating bills passed by bipartisan votes in the post 2010 GOP House that have been totally blocked by the Senate.

    I must agree that Harry Reid has screwed up by not making the teabaggers in the Senate actually filibuster instead of just threatening it.
