Since President Obama totally lost that whole Hopeandchange ™ deal, after admitting failure, he has moved onto another catch-phrase. And is tweeting out proudly, bless his heart.
POTUS: “It’s time for a new economic patriotism, rooted in the belief that growing our economy begins with a strong & growing middle class.”
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) September 27, 2012
And running ads!
Obama Invokes ‘new economic patriotism’ in latest ad. Pay more taxes, call yourself a patriot. What bulls–t. #tcot http://t.co/GzlJcp76

LMAO @MGraham969 just said "Here's what 'economic patriotism' means–You create some 'economic', & he'll 'patriotically' distribute it…"

Obama has added 6 trillion to the debt, so he is the last person who should be mentioning "economic patriotism".

I roll my eyes at all the "Obama is a socialist" stuff but phrases like "economic patriotism" certainly gives pause.

Keep the truth coming, Twitter! Don’t let America pick up what he is laying down. Speaking truth and embracing freedom? That is patriotism.
