The Republican National Committee has a new TV ad for national cable, likening President Obama’s economic record to a roller-coaster, and a speeding car — and to a fiery car-wreck. And just in case you didn’t get the message…another car crash, a train-wreck, and a car speeding off a dock into the water.

“He promised to change direction,” the announcer says, as visuals begin of a roller-coaster climbing a big incline, and a car speeding up, all from a passenger’s-eye view. “800 billion in stimulus, trillions for government health care. Two million jobs – gone. Left turn after left turn, America’s headed the wrong way fast. Six million foreclosures, 14 trillion in debt, 500 billion in higher taxes, and the worst long-term unemployment in generations.

Then comes the pyrotechnics of the various vehicular disasters listed above: “Don’t let Obama drive us to disaster — change direction.”
