Obama talked about “how we’ll win the future” in his weekly address and in a video on Saturday when he previewed his State of the Union address for supporters. That video closed with a “Win the Future” graphic that elevated the phrase to a potential re-election mantra. BarackObama.com will be the President’s online hub for his re-election campaign, but if people go to WintheFuture.com, they are likely to get a very different perspective from Obama’s vision. Retired engineering consultant Glenn Pelikan of Portland, Ore., registered WintheFuture.com (and all associated extensions, including .org and .net) in 2007, a couple of years after former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) released his book, “Winning the Future.” When Roll Call contacted Pelikan, the Republican hadn’t seen Obama’s recent remarks and didn’t even remember he owned the URLs, probably because he estimates that he owns between 200 to 300 domain names. Four years ago, Pelikan thought about setting up an Oregon chapter based on Gingrich’s philosophies, but he never did anything with the sites. “I probably would have dropped it a year ago,” said Pelikan about WintheFuture.com. “But now, under the circumstances,” he said his initial thought was to offer the domain names to the Republican National Committee. He’s made no final decisions on what to do with the URL that could become a valuable commodity. Pelikan, a self-described “constitutional conservative,” hasn’t chosen a candidate for the 2012 presidential race, but he’s no fan of the president and doesn’t believe in his vision for the country. “It’s not the guy, it’s his policies,” said Pelikan, who contributed to Mitt Romney’s presidential bid in 2007. Pelikan has also contributed to the RNC, Oregon Rep. Greg Walden (R), Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden’s GOP challenger last cycle, and the Oregon Republican Party, where he is the chairman for issues, outreach and speakers. It remains to be seen how integral of a part “Win the Future” will play in Obama’s re-election campaign (the New York Times led with the phrase in a Saturday story about the address), but if Democrats use the phrase prominently, Republicans will be in good position to respond. Their inability to secure an important domain is in stark contrast to the praise heaped on the Obama campaign in 2008 for its unprecedented online effort. Conservatives criticized the President’s supporters for the “Together We Thrive” t-shirts that were handed out at the Tucson Memorial service because they believed they were campaign related. According to an Internet search, TogetherWeThrive.com was registered on Dec. 2, 2010, and is under construction, but the registrant chose to keep their details confidential.
Republican Owns Obama’s ‘Win the Future’
President Barack Obama spent the weekend talking about the need to “win the future” in what sounds like the beginnings of a re-election slogan. But a conservative activist in Oregon owns the winthefuture websites, virtually ensuring that Republicans will define the catch phrase in their own way.

We lost the WH w/o even having an election. But with a 13% approval Congress can't govern. They won the prize as they fall into the abyss. ;}
Not surprising. He got elected by using equally meaningless slogans, remember? Something close the following: By 2012, when the finacial shit has already hit the fan, it'll be something more basic: Slavery is Freedom This last one, I'm sure the socialists will love...
ME: Thanks for admitting that you ARE trying to spin this (AZ shooting, and terrorism) onto Palin, and conservatives in general. "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." -- go65, LF's answer to Ben Bernanke --
How palo verdish. You got that locked up, dude.

Go To site, Zerohedge: Tyler Durden's picture Bank Of America Stops Issuing Notices Of Default In Non-Judicial States Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/25/2011 10:27 -0500 * Bank of America * Double Dip And so the latest shoe to drop in robosigning falls. Diana Olick reports that BofA has stopped its issuing notices of default in non-judicial states, such as the all critical California and Arizona, which explains the dramatic drop off in NODs in January. Previously explained by Koolaid guzzlers as an indication of economic improvement, it turns out this was merely yet more fraud being perpetrated by the big banks, which are now trying to cover up their slime trail. According to Bank of America's Dan Frahm, "We did conduct a review of the Notice of Default process. As a result we stopped the NOD process in non-judicial states." And so the double dip just got far worse.
It'd be good if you actually backed up anything that you post. Last thread you went this route on, I effectively gave you the "put up or shut up" challenge. You shut up. WISE choice. I suggest you continue down that path. Because making bullshit comments with no ability to back them, puts you at the same level as fartboy and go56.

and he has an option on the other two.

Give me time. I'm working on backing up my stuff. I'm also learning how to do large fonts and underlining. I'll be a super poster.
He studies stuff in depth. He said he's going for a doctorate too. Can't you tell?
Good advice, you should take it.

Can't you tell? I can tell he's pretty full of himself if that's what you mean.

You: Good advice, you should take it. Oh, I do. That's why you socialists always get in a tizzy, immediately fall back to "knee-jerk" mode, and start making emotionally-charged but utterly irrelevant comments... "oh, it's for da pooor widdle kids!!!!" LOL. And while your is utterly devoid of any intelligent thought, the good news is that when the economy finally starts the final slide, you'll still be able to find a job, which suits your abilities. But your bosses will determine your position. LOL. 8^) ME: Thanks for admitting that you ARE trying to spin this (AZ shooting, and terrorism) onto Palin, and conservatives in general.

I suppose such commentary is supposed to make you feel better. Is it working? (((((((yawn)))))) OTOH, I really don't give a shit if it does or not. You're not important, when it gets right down to it. So piss off.

Ping to #12. I finally realized what lucysmom is good for... (provided she's not a 300-lb. porker).

Really? You can back that up with examples on this forum, of course. I guess your graphic is an example of the irrelevant.

Thinks?
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Most food stamp recipients top 250 by the time they're 20, just sayin'.
LOL. I was wondering how much it would take, to get a rise out of you....... The answer is quite simple: "not much." LMAO.
