Citizens against Government wast should get the credit.
http://swineline.org/media/

On October 21, 2010, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) unveiled a national ad addressing our country’s spending addiction, the dangers of relentless deficits, and the corrosive nature of our national debt.

This new ad, which features a chilling look at one potential future scenario if America continues on its current destructive fiscal trajectory, is a 2010 homage to “The Deficit Trials,” a 1986 ad that was produced by W.R. Grace & Co. For those who were able to view it, the ad caused a sensation; it was considered so controversial at the time that the networks refused to run it.

I love the line "By 1986 the national debt had reached TWO trillion dollars". That's about 16 months of deficit under Obama, as opposed to 210 years of debt from 1776 to 1986.
