This is about American resolve, hard work, innovation and guts.

I’m more inclined to call it the Two Minute Warning.

And justifying bailouts. I liked the tweet I saw yesterday. It’s halftime in America and we’re behind $16 trillion to nothing.

This is about American resolve, hard work, innovation and guts. I don't agree. For me it came across as a promo for a "second half" of an Obama 8 year Presidency. No thanks to Clint on this one.
To: safetysign
Ya, its halftime in America, and our second half is about to begin.Referring to an Obama second term? I wouldn't put it past them. Just as it was sure nice for NBC to offer Barack a campaign spot.

Referring to an Obama second term? That was my take on it as well.

Chrysler is now under private ownership again.

I had thought that Eastwood was a conservative, but I saw this as a pro-Obama ad. I was shocked.
To: InterceptPoint
For me it came across as a promo for a "second half" of an Obama 8 year Presidency. That's the way I saw it. All this free advertising obama gets. We're due for a new car and I certainly won't buy a GM. If Clint releases any new movies - I won't buy a ticket. I boycott all obama lovers/supporters and will continue to do so.

You see that Fiat commercial that was whip cream off the chest.

To: safetysign
All I get is a message that states: This commercial is no longer available due to copyright by the NFL.

Didn’t watch it and now NFL has taken it down.
They took their ball and went home.

I saw this ad as a justification of bale outs and a plea to re-elect BHO or we are domed.
It made me want to vomit, even my “liberal” husband thought it was a bit over the top.

Mrs GBC was unimpressed. Her only response was,
"I hate Dodge".
She ain't too crazy about GM either...

I took it as American resolve and carrying on since Clint can see the nation is at a crossroads. My better half thought he was supporting a 2nd Obama act.
To: safetysign
The NFL has pulled the ad from the web.

Nope it’s bombast by a poser who reads lines fed to him and written by somebody else.
Detroit’s the model for America? What comeback? It’s still ruled by dumb and corrupt Democrats steeped in race baiting and class warfare. Chrysler took a government bailout and didn’t pay back $1.3 billion of it.
So the message is:
1. Elect Democrats
2. Let them wreck things
3. Welfare is the answer
Chrysler should have gone bankrupt long ago. Reorganize and come back leaner. Instead we get pablum spun as gravitas and many can no longer tell the difference.
