Clinton SC Ad Stretches Obama's Reagan Comments

In this negative spot sent to reporters by the Obama campaign, Clinton continues to take Obama's line that Republicans were the "party of ideas" to suggest that Obama backs specific Republican ideas, which is a stretch.

From the ad:

Obama: "The Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10, 15 years."

Southern-accented narrator: "Really? Aren't those the ideas that got us into the economic mess we're in today? Ideas like special tax breaks for Wall Street. Running up a $9 trillion debt. Refusing to raise the minimum wage or deal with the housing crisis. Are those the ideas Barack Obama's talking about?"
