The Democrats' earlier slogan "Rock the Vote" was a subliminal take on "rock the boat" - which actually has a negative connotation since rocking the boat is foolish and potentially suicidal. But this is what the Left's agenda has always been - rocking the boat, striking at the foundations, etc. They got so desensitized to its destructive meaning that "Rock the Vote" seemed like a great slogan. With Obama's ascendance, it changed to "Barack the Vote," which was even worse.
I tried to bring sanity back to the language and show graphically what "Barack the Vote" really means. But I got stuck with the final caption or a speech balloon. So I'm reaching out to the collective mind of our Groupthink members; a proactive response is mandatory.

General Confusion
Fellow comrades,
"Rock the vote" was a code phrase for "acorn the vote" where some operatives revise the incorrect thinking of the lesser informed members of society and place them on a path to communal and co-operative voting.
These helpers sanitize and correct the wrong answers to make for easier counting without dangling and hanging chads we encountered in Florida.The caption could be: "Use the oars, not your ears!"

While I'm at a loss for a caption to the cartoon it never the less creates an opportunity to malign Michelle Obama.
She's a long 'ho to row

Uncle Sam "The Vote. I said The VOTE, not the Boat!"
I'll sing you a song, politically
With a way, he, blows the economy down
And trust that you'll join The People's Cube with me
Give him some time to blow the economy down
There is a bad POTUS Barack is his name
With a way, he, blows the economy down
Although he once played a remarkable game
Give him some time to blow the economy down
His ship lay un-calmed in a political sea
With the way, he, blows the economy down
He whistles all day but in vain for a breeze
Give him some time to blow the economy down.
So I'd like to know why, you'll ruin the nation
Said I'd like to know why, you'll ruin the nation
Barack the vote, don't Barack the vote Barry
Barack the vote, don't tip the vote over
Barack the vote, don't Barack the vote Barry
Barack the vote-t-t-t-t
Ever since our voyage of love began
Your touch has thrilled me like a rush up my leg
Now arms length won't keep me safe from the TEA Party
There's not a place to run to when you bother me
Health Care was like a force set in motion
Now we're sailing into tidal waves of death and destruction
So I'd like to know why, you ruined the nation
Said I'd like to know why, you ruined the nation
To Barack the vote, don't Barack the vote, Barry
Barack the vote, don't tip the vote over
Barack the vote, don't Barack the vote Barry
Barack the vote-t-t-t-t
Up to now we sailed through every Bill
And we've always had your teleprompter give us warn
Oh, I need you to stay away and run from you
Please won't you stay away my dear leader or I'll be through
Health Care was like a force set in motion
Now we're sailing into tidal waves of death and destruction
So I'd like to know why, you ruined the nation
Said I'd like to know why, you ruined the nation
To Barack the vote, don't Barack the vote, Barry
Barack the vote, don't tip the vote over
Barack the vote, don't Barack the vote Barry
Barack the vote-t-t-t-t Stay away oh yeah Stay away Oh yeah
A cheesy little tune
