"Chrysler - It's Halftime in America" commercial with Clint Eastwood, I was actually pretty surprised/impressed/moved by it, call me a chump maybe but I liked it.

Only later did I see the conservative media stories about how it was a liberal re-election campaign ad... I don't agree but it was sad to see how divided the country really is (which is one of the things the ad pointed out and was trying to change ironically enough). I don't even like Chryslers or politics but liked the uplifting message...

Great game! and I wasn't even rooting for anyone in particular.

Funny part is Clint is a Republican moderate conservative.

Did I read that commercial wrong? Talking about how Detroit managed to recover as a backdrop to American families struggling? Well I'm sure most every family could avoid hard times if the government bailed them out.

I guess it probably depends on how informed/predisposed you are on the subject, but when I watched it I didn't even see it as a Chrysler specific ad or bailout politics ad, just a good message about how bad and scary the situation is with the country and unemployment and people fighting about it and using the Detroit situation as a metaphor for how we can come together and turn it around in the "second half".

I can definitely see how it can touch off some people's sensitive buttons though, too bad as I think the overall message is a positive one and why I liked the commercial.
