Genuine question (not from the USA), why was "hope" the campaign slogan?
Because 8 years of Dubya / Rumsfeld / Cheney
Damn I'll need to google all these terms
"Dubya" is a nickname for George W. Bush that was coined by newspaper columnist Molly Ivins. The name is a Texafied pronunciation of the letter W.
Dubya was the President from 2001 to 2009, in the two terms preceding Obama. Rumsfeld was Dubya's defense secretary, and Cheney was the vice president.
Has there been a time or place where more hope was not a good thing?
They hoped for more drone strikes.
Well it was "hope and change", but then he went a little light on the change part.
