Obama in 2012!!!!!!!!!!
Feb 6, 2012 | Posted by: Politix Staff Ed
Did Clint Eastwood’s Chrysler ad have a subtle – or not-so-subtle - pro-Obama message?
One hundred and ten million Super-bowl-watchers saw Eastwood’s powerful ad.
“It’s half time in America,” intones the Dirty Harry star:
People are out of work and they’re hurting. And they’re all wondering what they’re gonna do to make a comeback.
Changing tack, Eastwood invoked the auto industry as a bright spot, leading the way to America's recovery:
Detroit's showing us it can be done. … This country can't be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again and when we do, the world is going to hear the roar of our engines.
The ad doesn’t mention any politicians, but as soon as it aired, Twitter was on fire with speculation about the ad’s “real” message. Was it a plug for Obama’s auto bailout? Did Eastwood’s talk about the “second half” count as a pitch for Obama’s second term?
Republican mastermind Karl Rove implied the ad was straight-up Obama propaganda, paid for via the auto bailout. Meanwhile Obama spokesman David Axelrod was quick to release a statement praising the “powerful” ad. Watch it here.
What did you think of the ad - is it pro-Obama, or just pro-American?Comments

Judged: 6 4 4 Eastwood registered as a Republican in order to vote for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and he supported Richard Nixon's 1968 and 1972 presidential campaigns. He later criticized Nixon's handling of the Vietnam War and his morality during Watergate. He usually describes himself as a libertarian in interviews, fiscally conservative yet socially liberal. He told USA Weekend in 2004, "I don't see myself as conservative, but I'm not ultra-leftist.... I like the libertarian view, which is to leave everyone alone. Even as a kid, I was annoyed by people who wanted to tell everyone how to live." |

Judged: 5 4 3 February 06, 2012 Clint Eastwood:'I am Certainly Not Affiliated with Mr. Obama' l am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama. It was meant to be a message about just about job growth and the spirit of America. I think all politicians will agree with it. I thought the spirit was OK. I am not supporting any politician at this time. http://nation.foxnews.com/clint-eastwood/2012... |

Judged: 3 3 3 I agree. Rather than ask anymore we're just going to vote him out in the same manner that we made him a lame duck during the midterms. Lol. Grin and bear the gridlock until then, K? |

Judged: 4 3 3 I find it amazing that so many on the right seem to be upset that the American auto industry was saved. Maybe Fox didn't report on it..but leading up, most every credible economist agreed that if the auto makers folded, there would have been millions of jobs lost..and that would be just the beginning. I can think of a dozen republicans in congress (and scores of righty media people) who said they should just be allowed to fail. Insane. They're saying the same thing about offering more relief for people who are losing their homes to foreclosure. Romney, Gingrch and Sanitorum all say the market should be allowed to bottom out..even though an estimated 1.5 million additional would be put out into the streets. And still, they want to dissolve the task force that will investigate the banks for mortgage fraud. The man appointed to co-chair that task force is New York's Attorney Eric Schneiderman, who the right say will be "too aggressive" and say we shouldn't be looking back..but should be looking forward. I hope the punishment for these crooks is swift and severe. |
