Mud-Slinging Memories

The American Museum of the Moving Image has an exhibit of presidential campaign commercials dating back to 1952.

Halcyon highlights include Eisenhower's 1956 "Housewife" commercial:

"To be happy, it's important to like your neighbors and for them to like you. So think how really important it is for the whole world to like and respect the President of the United States."

Charming, no?
