(Columbus, OH) This morning Illinois Senator and Democratic front runner for president Barack Obama announced a new campaign slogan, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.

You might be think that the new slogan coincides with the movie of the same name winning Best Picture at last night's Academy Awards, but you would be wrong.

"That's not where the idea came from at all," said Obama while flipping pancakes at a local diner. "This is something totally original that I thought of myself. I'm full of original ideas, like these delicious new breakfast treats that I invented. I call them pancakes, because A, they are made in a pan, and B, they taste like little cakes. Go ahead and try one, but I recommend using another one of my inventions, a liquid sugary topping called syrup."

And if you think Obama, who has come under fire from borrowing text from other people's speeches, is opening himself up for the Clinton and Republican attack machines, you would again be wrong, according to his campaign.

"Listen, the Senator's new slogan, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, is meant to move the debate in this nation forward with new ideas and new promise," said Obama's spokesman William Stone. "For example, the new breakfast treat, pancakes. They're new. They're fresh. They're today. I hear that the other candidates still eat cornflakes for breakfast. I mean, come on, how old is that?"

"Let's face it, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Ralph Nader (who announced his candidacy yesterday) and Hillary Clinton are all just cantankerous old men with old stale ideas. Their time has come and gone. This is NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. " said Obama, while working on a children's book about a young wizard named Harry.

Hillary, campaigning in Texas, refused to comment on Obama's campaign slogan. Instead she has released a new campaign slogan of her own: THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
