Bravo Mr. Eastwood.
I thought so too. Having said that, I can also see why the typical "conservative" would have his/her feelings hurt. They want to see an American Muslim not portrayed as a terrorist as they want to see an America that is doing better.

After years of little to no hiring the Chrysler plant that is located just south of the Wisconsin border in Illinois has put on 3 full shifts and is hiring like crazy. Suddenly 100s of people in our small city are working and so relieved and happy that it is lifting the spirits of everyone. There are hundreds of thousands of people who are so grateful for the auto bailouts which actually produced jobs for so many. Compare that to the bailouts of Wall Street that resulted only in large bonuses for the very people that destroyed our economy.

Hmmm. I thought the ad was paid for by Chrysler. Did I miss some small print?

Oh, please. Paid for by the Obama campaign.

I half expected John Wayne and Ronald Reagan to join ol' Clint at the end for a quick round of "God Bless America".

It was a beautifully written, wonderfully directed and photographed commercial for a car company. Period.

If y'all think Clint Eastwood (of all people) is secretly aiding Barack Obama then I'll direct you to Aisle 9 where the Reynold's Wrap is sold.

Thank you. This is all that the ad was trying to say, but of course, Americans are going to try to make it a left/right issue.

It's halftime? Does that mean it's time to pull the second string QB and get serious?
