Barack Obama | Walter Mondale | Jimmy Carter | Michael Dukakis | The Daily Caller: Which presidential candidate said this in an ad: “I refuse to make your family pay more so that millionaires can pay less?” Who promised to “fight for seniors” against opponents who wanted to “slash Medicare?”
If you answered President Barack Obama, you’re about 27 years too late. Those pronouncements came from an ad for Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro, the Democratic pols who ran against Ronald Reagan in 1984. (Mondale’s ticket lost to Reagan in a landslide, winning only one state.)
This year Obama is pushing the same themes as Mondale, and other former Democratic presidential candidates. The video comes from The Living Room Candidate, a website launched in 2008 by the Museum of the Moving Image.
