6. Obama/Carter 2012
In an effort to target Obama’s economic policies made during his first term as POTUS, this ad focused on comparing the president to one of the most unpopular presidents in history-Jimmy Carter. T
he commercial took sound bites of the two men making claims about improving job reports, despite showing on the side and in the backgrounds, evidence of the real job and economic numbers which ran contrary to both presidents statements. This commercial gave pundits and the Romney campaign a new talking point during the 2012 election, asking whether or not Obama was the new Carter of the 21st century, and if history would repeat itself by showing another first-term president getting evicted from the White House.
