FDR explains election promises in a nutshell


FDR nailed it in 1936.  Jon Stewart used this clip a couple nights ago to describe the Romney campaign, but it could just as easily be applicable to Democratic challengers to Republican incumbents.

I wanted to blog this without the Jon Stewart comments, and was delighted to find the clip today at The Dish.

    blocked on copyright grounds by viacom. Is this clip of the daily show or just the direct clip of FDR? If the latter, its shameful that viacom would block it...

      This was the latter, but I suppose The Dish could have truncated it from a Daily Show video clip.

      I found another copy and embedded that one. Better hurry to view it, just in case...
