Biden: Put Osama on Obama's 2012 bumper sticker

← return to Inside Politics

The quest marches on for a bumper sticker for the 2012 Obama campaign, and Vice President Joseph Biden Jr. believes the slogan should highlight the death of Osama bin Laden.

At a campaign event in Manchester, N.H., Thursday night, Mr. Biden offered this suggestion for the campaign’s 2012 bumper sticker: “Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive.”

The vice president said the bailout of the American auto industry saved “millions” of jobs, including 20,000 in New Hampshire. The administration cites the killing of bin Laden last spring as one of its top national-security achievements.

The search for a catchy bumper sticker for the president’s reelection campaign has been elusive. In October, Mr. Obama suggested the slogan could be, “”Our vision for the future.”

But don’t look for either the president’s or vice president’s suggestions anytime soon on the car in front of you.
