Video: “Mourning in America”
posted at 6:11 pm on September 22, 2010 by Allahpundit
Simply brutal — and yet not at all angry, which is quite an achievement for a political ad. How brutal is it? Brutal enough to turn Kathleen Parker against The One.
Dude, this ad is actually capable of converting RINOs.
“Mourning in America,” which is hitting the national airwaves, is a poignant takeoff of Ronald Reagan’s iconic “Morning in America” ad. Whatever one’s political affiliation, it is impossible to watch this new ad and not feel, well, sad…
[I]t is probably fair to say that Obama’s ideas were too big for America’s appetite. It would have been nice had he made a few incremental repairs to the economy and left the transformative events for a less stressful time.
But this is not the way presidents operate. They want to make their mark, create a legacy, go down in history as having a made a difference.
Sad.
The plan now: Round up Frum, Brooks, and Christopher Buckley and make ‘em watch this Ludovico style. Henceforth, every time they try to say something nice about RomneyCare, a wave of nausea hits…

You really are an evil troll. You have no idea about what Lance does or does not do. For the record, Lance is a great guy and a hard worker so go back to your little troll hole.

You really are an evil troll. You don’t know anything about Lance. I have the privilege to know him and he’s a good man & a hard worker.

1981. Reagan was inaugurated on January 20th, 1981.

Couple recommended additions:

Actually would not affect them. It would be just another Weekend at Barneys (Frank).

It is unlikely for Obama to see the economy back up to where Bush left off.
Bush inherited the fall after the dot.com bubble. Reagan inherited trouble part of which was excalating energy costs.

There is an anecdote for this symptom of KP’s. It’s called the Can-Do Spirit. (Not Yes We Can). You can get a dose of this Wonder Drug at any Tea Party. Just bring a lawn chair, good humor, love of others and country then spend a whole day at these Wonder Spas and you will feel refreshed, invigorated and ready to work like hell to straighten out Washington D.C. and kick these “germs” out of there that are causing this bad virus of malaise and depression in our wonderful land.

Every Republican needs to hire this man to produce commercials for them. If both of them didn’t bring a tear to your eye, then you have a problem!
