Does this ad remind anyone else of the "Daisy" ad that LBJ used?

Here's the "Daisy" ad...

While it isn't an exact, the politics of fear are alive in well in the Clinton campaign...just like Bill Kristol told her to use them.

Barack Obama.
I too would much prefer Barack Obama answer that call...

This is just sad. I honestly thought Hilary was above this. I really did.
Obama addressed the ad directly before a rally. "Now before we open this up for conversation, I just want to take a moment to respond to an ad that Senator Clinton is apparently running today that asks, 'Who do you want answering the phone in the White House when it's 3 a.m. and something has happened in the world?'" he said.
"We've seen these ads before. They're the kind that play on peoples' fears to scare up votes," he continued. "Well it won't work this time. Because the question is not about picking up the phone. The question is -- what kind of judgment will you make when you answer? We've had a red phone moment. It was the decision to invade Iraq. And Senator Clinton gave the wrong answer. George Bush gave the wrong answer. John McCain gave the wrong answer.
"But I stood up and said that a war in Iraq would cost us thousands of lives and billions of dollars. I said that it would distract us from the real threat we face -- and that we should take the fight to al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. That's the judgment I made on the most important foreign policy decision of our generation, and that's the kind of judgment I'll show when I answer that phone in the White House as President of the United States....And I'll never see the threat of terrorism as a way to scare up votes, because it's a threat that should rally this country around our common enemies. That's the judgment we need at 3 a.m. And that's the judgment that I am running for President to provide."
WHAT!? You've got to be shitting me. i, honestly didn't think there was a person alive that thougt that.
She's been slipping down further and further in my mind recently, but even this shocked me. Doesn't she see what she's doing? It's pathetic. She's just a desperate, pathetic individual. She's just as bad as McCain now.
I hope Obama blows her away in all four states and she cries again. I'd laugh.
"If one candidate's trying to scare you, and the other one's trying to get you to think; if one candidate's appealing to your fears, and the other one's appealing to your hopes; you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."
Bill Clinton, 2004
That makes two of us.
for the least they could possibly do
