Must-watch new ad: Mourning in America

Topics: Political News and commentaries

In this stunning new eye-opening ad from the Citizens for the Republic, the organization first established by Ronald Reagan and now run by a hardy band of Reaganites, young and old, dedicated to the vision of Founding Fathers as well as Ronald Reagan, Bill Buckley, Barry Goldwater, and many others, there is a twist to the famous 1984 Reagan re-election ad "Morning in America" (hat tip - Jeffrey Lord):

Jeffrey Lord writes:

The original ad, found here, took the political community and voters by storm when it first aired as Reagan faced off against Walter Mondale, Jimmy Carter's vice president. It summarized in seconds where America once was in the dismal Carter years and where, after four years of Reagan, it had begun to head. America, dispirited, broke and humiliated abroad in 1980 -- was well on its way back. Happy Days were here again. Carter's vice president carried but one state -- his own Minnesota. And even that was close.

In 2010 the situation is exactly the reverse. After a mere two years of the Obama Era, Americans are once again dispirited, broke, humiliated and angry to boot. So the smart folks over at the Citizens of the Republic have smartly put together a new ad telling the once-happy tale in its modern form -- the Carter years now the Obama Era

Here's the original ad; watch it and compare Reagan's message to what the Dems can "factually" say about today's economy and America after 20 months of Obama/Reid/Pelosi:

Noticeably different between the time of Reagan's add today is that Reagen could tout his record, while the Democrats are running away from their record - and can't run away from it either.
