President Obama, addressing a crowd of disgruntled fans at an Organizing for Action conference, offered questionable advice that has a lot of outsiders scratching their heads.
“You don’t make change through slogans,” he told the group Thursday. “You don’t make change through ignoring realities.”
Wait. What?
Actually, it makes perfect sense. Who would know better than the Obamas that slogans don’t work?
The famous “change you can believe in” slogan hasn’t seemed to fully work on the president’s far-left base which is upset over negotiations for his controversial free-trade agreement, Trans-Pacific Partnership. The goal of the OFA speech was to quell their fears.
The irony and all-around absurdity of his statement was picked up on Twitter, and quickly gained steam.

Obama, deliciously ironic in trying to tell liberals off on trade: “You don’t make change through slogans.” Lol, okay.

@Taniel @NoahCRothman No! Did Obama really say that??!! I bet he laughed to his buddies later, saying, “the fools believed me!” — Ben Aksar (@BenAksar) April 24, 2015
@Taniel Yes, we can!

@Taniel Does Obama have a specific “the liberals are being mean to me” hashtag in place yet? — SunsetLament (@SunsetLament) April 24, 2015
LOL: Today in self-awareness, Obama scolds allies: ‘You don’t make change through slogans’ http://t.co/041iOyFJpn pic.twitter.com/JVqeBx9JE7 — pete602 (@petefrt) April 24, 2015
Self-awareness? Never. Speaking of which, Mrs. Obama is no stranger to how poorly slogans work either. Lest we forget,

Tragically, it turned out to be just a slogan.
