Will Obama run a "Morning Again in America" type ad?

Derek, you're trolling.

I think it's very likely Obama runs an upbeat and positive ad in 2012, though that shouldn't be taken as a surprise. Bush was a rare incumbent who based his campaign around fear. Most of the time they run on optimism and success.

As far as the economy is concerned, the market struggling does not equal the economy struggling. The market failure in 2008 was caused by the collapse of the housing market and investment banks. It was those collapses that hurt average Americans, not the stock market so much. Same in 1929. The Stock Market Crash was not the cause of the Great Depression. Also, look at Bloody Munday. It had no impact on the economy, but the market plummeted. I think that the European Debt Crisis will have very little effect in the US economy overall.
