History of "I Approve This Message"

The political phrase "I approve this message" was first used during the 2004 Presidential campaign.  Television campaign ads started with political points and ended with the politician saying "I am [politician's name] and I approve this message".  The phrase has been spoofed by tv personalities and radio talk show hosts and has become a common phrase in the political world.  Lesser known candidates for political office have begun using the phrase to add an extra note of professionalism to their campaign ads.  An alternate phrase--"I approve this ad"--is an offspring of the original and has been used by some candidates to change the flavor a little, but it still conveys the same message.  With politics being such a central and integral focusing point in mainstream media today, "I approve this message" will forever be a permanent stamp in campaign history.
