Sounds like a good possibility, especially with Obama running things.
Working link:
We have the original Chrysler bailout back in 1977 to blame, that’s when it became expected that Government would step in and save companies that were “Too big to fail.”
American motors comes to mind.
Good commercial and great message!
That was Clint Eastwoods jump the shark moment for me
And I had been a life long fan
Screw that! It was taxpayer financed commie f'ing propoganda!
I think this was tantamount to a taxpayer funded campaign commercial for Obama. I didn't like the message.
Gov’t bailouts date back to the Washington administration.
They screwed their investors. I would not touch a Chrysler. And since 1980 I’ve owned:
1980 Dodge D50 pickup
84 Plymouth Reliant Station Wagon
87 Plymouth Reliant
88 Dodge Omni
1995 Lebaron convertible
2001 Chrysler 300m
I’m driving the 300 into the ground right now on my 100 mile commute. Love the car, even at 160,000 miles it is like new, except it could use shocks, but I’m done with Chrysler and GM, for obvious reasons.
They lost a lifelong customer - for good.
I like the new Fords and am considering a Fusion to replace the 300M when the wheels fall off.
Not on that grand of a scale.
I’m hopin it was just Oltimer’s...
I know exactly how you feel. Since I was a little kid I was a huge Eastwood fan and was proud of the fact that my birthday was wedged neatly between GK Chesterton and Clint Eastwood.
I guess I can still be proud of Chesterton...
What was the great message, Moleman??
0bama.
Ditto. Maybe he needs the money
Eastwood is just another Hollywierdo and former mayor of leftist California town Carmel.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Main article: Clint Eastwood
Actor and director Clint Eastwood has long shown an interest in politics. He was elected mayor in April 1986 of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California and in 2001, he was appointed to the California State Park and Recreation Commission by Governor Gray Davis.[1]
At times, he has supported Democrats in California, such as the liberal and environmentally concerned Representative Sam Farr in 2002. Eastwood contributed $1,000 to Farr’s successful re-election campaign that year and on May 23, 2003, he hosted a $5,000-per-ticket fundraiser for California’s Democratic governor, Gray Davis.[6] Later that year, Eastwood offered to film a commercial in support of the embattled governor,[7] and in 2001, the star visited Davis’ office to support an alternative energy bill written by another Democrat, California State Assemblyman Fred Keeley.

Doesn’t matter. Precedent was set. And by the administration of a founding father.
Maybe Clint owed them something from his spaghetti western days. Kind of a mob thing. /s
