"The basic bargain" - A good meme being fleshed out by Obama on the stump.

Sound bites are inevitable in any campaign. Yet when given substance and background and relevance, they're a great tool to make a case. Caught Obama on the stump making the case for the basic bargain - i.e. our relationship with the federal government. Good job.

1. Sounds good.......any more details?

Some of the best memes came from Dems:

The New Deal
The Fair Deal

We really need something that fits on a bumper sticker that tells a solid message to counter the RW talking points. Their meme-generator has been working too well the past few cycles.

2. Just saw the end of his speech on the campaign trail. He was forceful on the basic bargain.

The speech will probably be on the White House website eventually, or repeated on TV.

Agree, a good bumper sticker tag would be good. I think some play on basic bargain has legs, perhaps. It supports a Democratic point of view and should resonate with independents.
