Must agree with hired gun re: slogans. I see mr. Bush and I honestly wonder: Am I the only one who thinks that he is intellectualy lacking? I really believe that he will go down as the simplest man to ever gain the presidency.
He has been bombarding us with the most inane slogans in history and yet, after 6 years, he still can't pronounce 'nuclear', he embarrases this nation on the world stage and he boasts that he "never reads the paper'! Lord help us.

This says more about the emptiness of 'stay the course' as an easily-packaged slogan than it does about the merits or drawbacks of the administration. All politicians use such slogans, I think.
