      Well that makes more sense than the Obama admin coming up with it

      Bout to say, I could have sworn I was hearing that well before Obama was president. That’s a Bush admin slogan, isn’t it?

        I think they had that phrase on WWII propaganda posters as well. More to do with potential espionage of enemy countries, though.

        Edit: totally wrong, it was coined on Sept 12, 2001 by New York advertising executive Allen Kay.

          Oh ok so I had the source wrong, that’s quite an effective ad exec.

          It definitely was a major background color to the early 2000s atmosphere.
