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
