New  Clinton Ad References  Pearl Harbor, Bin Laden

( CBSnews ) - Hillary Clinton's campaign has released a new ad in Pennsylvania, "Kitchen," in which a famous line from Harry Truman is used to make the candidate's case.

"It's the toughest job in the world," an announcer says as the spot opens. Onscreen, a newspaper trumpets news of a stock market crash; black-and-white images of Pearl Harbor explosions follow. Then, more images: Gas shortages. The Berlin Wall. Osama Bin Laden. Hurricane Katrina.

"You need to be ready for anything," the announcer continues. "Especially now, with two wars, oil prices skyrocketing and an economy in crisis. Harry Truman said it best: 'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.'"

The ad closes with the announcer asking, "Who do you think has what it takes?" That question is followed by video of Clinton.
