"Hope" and "Change" were key words in the 2008 Obama campaign. Of course, "change" is not a good slogan for a REelection campaign. Beyond that, many progressives were disappointed in the rate of change by 2012. Much of the spontaneous creativity that occurred in 2007-2008 was gone by 2012.

I found this shirt in very poor condition in a Chicago thrift store, and decided not to purchase it. The next image is of the back.
