In our last class, we watched the famous LBJ “Peace, Little Girl” commerical, where fear was used to collect votes. This was still during the time in the Cold War, when the American people were afraid of a nuclear holocaust. It is intresting to compare this ad with another Presidential  campaign ad, that of (the great) Ronald Reagan.

Remember that the bear is the symbol for Russia.

  It is interesting to see these ads reflected each ones respective time period, within the cold war.  LBJ – fear of the USSR, Reagan – prepared for peace.
