This is Obama's campaign slogan for the 2012 Presidential race. Apparently this slogan has an interesting history.
Bob Beauprez reports that it was commonly used by Marxists and Socialists in the 19th and 20th centuries on newspapers and other printed materials to symbolize that socialism, communism, Marxism (choose one of the above) was the wave of the future. I'm shocked, shocked that Obama would pick such a slogan. We can't say that we weren't warned what President Obama means when he says he wants "transformational change" for this country.

You're right, Rick. It was the slogan of the Bolsheviks (Вперед! pronounced Vperyod)
