Ben Quayle Calls Obama 'Worst President In History' In New Ad (VIDEO)

Ben Quayle Ad
Ben Quayle, son of former Vice President Dan Quayle, is out with a new campaign ad.

Ben Quayle, son of former Vice President Dan Quayle, wants voters in Arizona's 3rd Congressional District to send him to Congress so he can "knock the hell out of Washington." At least that's what he's telling them in a new campaign ad released Wednesday.

And that's not all.

"Barack Obama is the worst president in history," Quayle states at the beginning of the ad, pausing for effect. "And my generation will inherit a weakened country."

"Drug cartels in Mexico, tax cartels in D.C." Quayle says abruptly. "What's happened to America?"

So, what is Quayle's solution to these ambiguous and vaguely described "problems?"

"Somebody has to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place," Quayle claims. So, why not send him, an Arizona-loving boy who, in his words, "was raised right?" Perhaps that's a clever Quayle family double entendre.

Watch Ben Quayle's campaign ad:

Jimmy Carter called George W. Bush the worst president in history. In my opinion Bush II was the worst president in history and Jimmy Carter should have never retracted his statement because it was the truth. Ben Quayle is no Jimmy Carter.

It's super scary to know that there's a possibility Ben Quayle could be elected to our congress!!@#! His ads are by far the most ridiculous I've ever seen... and he approves them! - even worse! I'd love to know who his ad campaign manager is: "knock the hell out of 'em!" "I was raised right." OMG - stupid! I have to run into the other room when his commercials come on. Shizzz!!

I always thought of any State southe of the Mason/Dixon line as the land of stupid, but
as the teabaggers extend outward I think we need to reevaluate where the land of stupid
is:

As for Wisconsin, we gave birth to Gretta Van Sustran (Fox) and Republican dingbat
Joe McCarthy and Paul Ryan.

When I was in high school 69/73 we had guys like this that were just
a pain in the ass, the "Better than Thou Attitude" We called them
"dime store punks"I cannot express how much joy is was to pick them
up fling them through the air and watch
the little peckerhead slam into a locker then slither to the floor.

Ya just factually know if he was at the same banquet as the Prez, he would
be certain to remain in the opposite corner.

Look up "empty suit" in the dictionary. You'll find a pic of this fellow's dad. I'm no Obama fan, but worse than Dubya? No way!

Ben Quayle, the son of former Vice President Dan Quayle, is running for Congress with a brash message in a new ad: "Barack Obama is the worst president in history."

*********************************************

Oh BS!!!

We got Obama only because of Bush Jr..

In the meantime though, one of Bush Sr.'s worst decisions as president was selecting as his vice president your own father Dan Quayle.

Besides his poor academic record, avoidance of the draft, and lackluster performance as a congressman, your father came across as an idiot.

Dan Quayle's twisted syntax and misspellings quickly became a favorite butt of jokes and cartoonists..

"May our nation continue to be the beakon [sic] of hope to the world," Dan Quayle wrote on a 1989 Christmas card which, incidentally, I've been keeping it as a remembrance..

If your know-nothing father had stepped down, Bush Sr. might have gotten re-elected.

This is the dumbest ad I've ever seen. I can sit through the McCain, Hayworth, and Arpaio ads, but as soon as this ad comes on, I hit the remote.

The newest member of the junior GOP round-shouldered pipsqueak club.
I want my 9-year-old niece to slap him in the face, just to see him cry.

Notice how the new sound bite being HONKED by the right wing is: "Obama is the worst president in history." They'll keep honking that through the elections. The word missing from the statement is "because." Once you start exploring Obama's real and perceived failures, they can all be traced back to trying to clean up the Bush Depression.

How could anyone be worse than Bush. The only president that killed jobs in America. Even Carter created more jobs in 4 bad years than Bush did in 8 years.

The biggest joke of all is Bush getting a library, what's it stocked with coloring books?

When the story first came out several years ago, (Bush Libary {oops} Library) some
newscasts were reporting that he was relying on foreign money for the project.
I always wonder if they'll ever update us on were the money came from.
