They flashed the logos at the bottom of the screen for about half a second at the end of the spot.
Given the content of the ad, I was waiting to hear "I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message" and see his "O" logo at the end.
Clint, at 81, did you really need this aggravation?
This is all foolishness. Chrysler may be coming back, and if so, that is great. We have quite enough reasons to go after Obama, without getting angry that a major American company runs an ad celebrating the ongoing mess that is its hometown.

I think they pulled a fast one on him, and all he was thinking was money, fame, superbowl, recognition.
Most of his fans are conservatives, so this certainly won’t do him any good. No matter how much he was paid, I think he’ll lose more by it.
Yeah, maybe. I mean I suppose some can spin it that way. *shrug* I just don’t see it as anything more than an auto ad.
I just heard it.
I think it would be cool if Ted Nugent did a rebuttal.
Had it been a Ford ad, then it would have been brilliant—certainly one of the best superbowl ads ever.
But, as a Chrysler ad, all it did was open old wounds in middle class America. Nobody bailed us out, and now he’s this ad talking about how—after we bailed them out—Detroit is the model and symbol of hope for America.
My emotional response to the ad was F*** You, kiss my a**, and go to H***.
Chrysler spends $7 million on this commercial and not even a Thank You to the American Taxpayer for bailing them out.
That $7M could have made a payment on the $1.3B that Chrysler US that we will never see.
Any respect I had for Clint I lost. OK I really don't think I had any. He is as phony as the characters he plays.
Conservative talk radio, Rush, Hannity et al should just play about 90 seconds of this radio interview with the Chrysler/Fiat CEO the morning after the ad - starting at about 4:07. Some very conservative comments: "I think the fundamental values that drive this country are sacred..." etc.

In This Fiat ad that aired during the Super Bowl, Clint Eastwood wandered like a senile pensioner through some steamy concrete jungle while lecturing us like a cranky old neighbor about the value of an automaker that has been bailed out more than a leaky rowboat. That’s lousy advertising.
