So we didn't really "turn a corner," but we ARE "moving America forward?"

Bush speech drops 'turning the corner'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush has apparently turned a corner in his use of what had been a popular refrain in recent campaign stump speeches.

One Gallup poll from early July showed that 57 percent of respondents said they were not satisfied with how things were going in the country. A top Bush aide told CNN that their internal polling showed the same thing. Other polls have shown the economy remains a concern for many Americans.

A lackluster jobs report out Friday -- which showed far fewer jobs created in July than expected -- provided Democrats with more ammunition to hit Bush on the economy.

Matthew Dowd, a senior strategist for the Bush campaign, told CNN that in the course of any campaign "you tighten up language, you make it clearer." But he maintained the president's core message of "moving America forward" has not changed.

2. It sounded too much like "Prosperity is just around the corner,"

which was a real corker for Herbert Hoover in 1932. ;)

3. message of "moving America forward" has not changed.

Is that like the "Saddam has WMD, has WMD programs, WMD related programs...well, he WANTED WMD!" style of keeping the message?

I wonder how much money they blew testing that one out with focus groups.
