Obama: "Change can't just be a Slogan"

Well - I hope Obama's team calls Hillary out on her polling "ready for change" slogan.
It appears Obama may call her on this.

asked Obama, at his press conference today, about Bill Clinton's striking remark that "yesterday's news was pretty good" -- a veiled shot at Obama's promise of generational change."My campaign is not premised on running against the past - my campaign is based on what we can accomplish in the future," Obama responded, before delivering, essentially, a critique of the limits of Bill Clinton's tenure.
" I do think that we have not had in a long time a sense of common purpose where we've got a working majority to work on the big issues - on healthcare, we haven't been able to get a system that works for everybody because it is continually blocked both in Congress and by special interests and lobbying."
......
And then, firing back at Hillary -- whose new slogan is, "Ready for Change, Ready to Lead" -- he said, "Change can't just be a slogan."
good for him - the faster democrats call out these empty slogans the better.
