'Forward' — The Obama Campaign's New Web Ad

The Weekly Standard has the conventional take, "Obama Campaign Takes on Tea Party."

But you gotta love this, from Big Government, "Comrades! Obama's New Slogan: Forward!":

The communist themes of the "forward" slogan are not the first time a member of the Obama team has expressed admiration for Chairman Mao. Former White House communications director Anita Dunn--who has continued to advise the White House after she left in 2009--famously listed Mao as one of her "favorite philosophers."

Perhaps President Obama would have done better to take campaign advice from his friend and White House guest, Paul McCartney: as the Beatles once said: "But when you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao/You aint' gonna make it with anyone anyhow."
