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

[Derek]

LMAO. Let's see the morning I see in it would be freezing temperatures, traffic jams, kids being kidnapped at the bus stop, those who do have jobs still will be turned away at the door finding out that their work has gone out of business, and acid rain.

[Derek]

I bet he will as he will likely have a very similar scenario.

recycled ads don't work

[Derek]

A "morning in America" type ad can work only if America looks out and sees sunlight.  I don't think America will.

Yes Obama's morning in America would also include a 7:30 sun rise.

[Derek]

Yes but a morning in America ad would be an obvious rip off. Those are more humorous now than anything. It is important for an incumbant to portray a country where things are going well.

[Derek]

It will stay high.

It will stay high.

Thank you for that insightful and thoughtful comment.  I feel smarter for having read it.

no need to feel smarter. If I owned a company and was rich I wouldn't hire until Obama had been voted out of office.

You'd base your hiring on who the president is and not the needs of your company? Right You wouldn't be "rich" for long with that viewpoint.

Lol that's why I said if I were Bill Gates or Donald Trump material. Employment rates really have nothing to do with who is in office. However, if I owned an oil company I would raise the prices of gas to about $10 per gallon the week before the election if a democrat were in office. I'd like to see the oil companies do this actually.

[Derek]

If Obama wants the trust of the American people he has a long way to go.

[Derek]

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.

Fear and loathing were Dubya's style. Maybe such was more the creation of Karl Rogue and Dick Cheney, but... a fish stinks from the head. Fear steadily breaks people down, and when fear becomes disgust, then those using fear must watch out.

Optimism woks, especially when it has good events underpinning it.

But it was a dangerous meltdown.  The  seventeen months of the 2007-2009 meltdown may not have been an exact parallel to the 1929-1933 meltdown, but it came close at afew points



If economic optimism is restored, then President Obama is a shoo-in.

Scare tactics work because they send a clearer message. While voters will respond that they like positive messages better, they will always get scared when faced with a 3am ad. I almost considered voting for Hillary for a minute to 2 because as far to the left as she is she will do what the polls say and strong defense is popular. When Bush showed the twin towers burning it reminded us all of what we're up against. Sometimes fear and the cold hard facts of life is what it takes to get through to an uninformed voter. Positive messages while cheezy only work for someone who is a positive and upbeat individual like Ronald Reagan or JFK.
