I may be naive, but I thought Eastwood was merely trying to celebrate the traditional American fighting spirit. I suppose
if Leno had been around to listen to Roosevelt’s Pearl Harbor
speech, he would have had something cute to say.
Eastwood was probably trying to do that, but the people at the ad company who wrote this ad worked for Obama. They were trying to put out a propoganda piece.
When I saw the ad during Super Bowl, I immediately thought that it was a thinly-veiled message to voters that they needed to reinstate zero so he could play out the second half (second term) in order to restore the US to greatness. (barf)
Of course, this was after seeing a graphic on Facebook stating, “Bush took 8 years to break it, Obama needs 8 years to fix it”. (mega barf)
