during the superbowl of the iran and for
chrysler that featured clint eastwood
it's caused some a controversy because
uh... people are saying that it might be
political
now
i don't think it's a crazy charge they
think that it helps president all bomb a
alike you know what sad
and then will come back and tell you
some of the details and some of the
crisis
as half
both teams are locker discuss taken to
bring this game second
this half time in america true
people are out of work merengue
marijuana ring what they're going to
turn command
and we're all scared because this is
weekend
because of the treadmill something about
it
they almost lost everything
receives every flaw start times
phone division discordant blame made it
harder to see what lies ahead
but after those trials
we all rallied around books right
an activist one this country kathleen
dot com punch
we get right back up again and when we
do in their used
time america
past have started again
first let me just say is it
great at it
it's a very powerful
incredibly well written and produced
clint eastwood is a perfect guy to
deliver that message
caristi obviously deeply about america
and deeply about detroit in the comeback
of the american cars
and by the way in michigan
the region's jobless that rate at
reached a record high of sixteen point
six percent but since the car bailouts
says the car companies have come back is
dropped a nine point seven percent now
that's not a great number but it's much
better than where it used to be
now ads run three and a half million
dollars for every thirty seconds in the
super bowl
so that add cost at least fourteen
million dollars just that they're a
little amateur cause to produce let
alone clint eastwood and we don't know
how much he got paid right
and now republicans are saying wait a
minute
now this is eric para car company they
got bailed out by president mama
and they're doing this ad
and it has a lot of positive
ramifications for president obama
that he would be halfway through his
term so it's halftime
whether this is second half
uh... sale of all he's the one that did
the bail out so that uh... detroit to
come back
and gives them is inouye a roundabout
way give some credit for that
i don't think these are bad points and
let me give you a sense of perspective
on it
j_p_ morgan
did f_ fifteen million dollar commercial
in fake that
in a roundabout way one of supporting
mit romney
and they did it with a mind they taken
from bailouts in a roundabout way
i would be pretty damn angry about that
so it's an interesting point to make
that keep in mind though
goodies would is a republic
rotates so
it's not like you would willingly you
would imagine
work to help but democratic that
president get re-elected
and he cares deeply about the american
car industry more foresee abit a movie
gran torino and so
it's a fascinating issue
of course the republicans are gonna go
over the top of their criticism
the guy who is qualified to make this
criticism this call rolled but
nonetheless he reads
you you've got a bloodbath you may have
been the in the boardrooms and
management suite of these to be car
companies
they got there saying to themselves look
with the president bailed us out rather
than make us go through the normal
bankruptcy he bailed us out we're gonna
end up not having to pay back this money
the taxpayers i mean a hundred thirteen
thousand jobs were saved at a cost of
fourteen billion dollars we're going to
lose his taxpayers as a million dollars
a job
that's pretty damned expensive and of
course so they're gonna replay their
political papers i was frankly offended
but i'm a huge fan of clint eastwood i
thought it was an extremely well then
add but is a sign of what happens when
you have chicago style politics and the
president out-of-state his political
minions are in essence were using our
tax dollars the by corporate advertising
all right now the lies in-car rose
claims that million dollars per job is
nonsense that fourteen billion dollar
number
that is not in any way shape or form the
reality uh... we need to us about
how these outreach that they would repay
their political patrons whatever job he
set up an entire party do we pay their
political patrons is called the
republican party
and it was called what i want
that's why isn't set up a by that exist
like damn
as a kind of a i wanted dot
so i get all that i was is and by the
way there were no direct political
references that all in that except for
one part what they said
the political environment was that
describe is enough auger division
discord and blame
doesn't necessarily cut either way
and the other board the abbeville
uh... chrysler has repaid their portion
of the bailout
and now the other irony here is is
talking about american comeback
you know who owns fifty eight point five
percent of chrysler now
italian company fiat
so
but there's a little bit irony that so
i'm all split on this ad
but i think it's a great ad
buildings overtly political but i
understand the criticism
not to the degree they call rotates the
over the top
you know that idea of these guys after
being bailed out doing an ad that seems
to kind of support o mama
it's at least ah...
i did why there's a controversy around
it
and at least worth discussing
