I, too, am a fan of Eastwood's, and you know his wonderful performance in "Gran Torino" had contribute to this spot's impact.<br /><br />Much as I love his work, I don't really know much about his politics. Yes, he is a Republican ... but I guess it's the more moderate variety ... like former California Governor Schwarzenegger, maybe?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952101708880633319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11015021.post-62948267513938242412012-02-06T09:26:11.695-06:002012-02-06T09:26:11.695-06:00I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan, but he messed u...I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan, but he messed up on this one! Is this the same guy who (rightfully) Obama's 2009 bailout of the auto industry and is known for his libertarian views and support of the Republican party?<br /><br />I was against using taxpayers' money to bailout a private company that had refused to innovate or change with the times. By some estimates, we took a loss of as much $6.4 billion on Chrysler's (second) governmental bailout.<br /><br />The commercial was a well-done feel-good spot, but that it glorified Chrysler as a business success really sits wrong with me. And while I may just be reading too much into this, there also seemed to have been a subtle implied pitch for Obama's second term tucked in there.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101289328294242999noreply@blogger.com
