It's Halftime America

Clint Eastwood- It's Halftime America

According to the Wall Street Journal, Controversy has arisen on the Chrysler Clint Eastwood commercial due to Superbowl viewers beliefs that the commercial had hidden political Pro-Obama intentions. Chrysler stated, "We have no doubt that this ad had no political agenda of any kind but rather [was] a statement of fact and hope for the future for all of us and America," the company's National Dealer Council said following an emergency meeting. They also stated that the main purpose of this commercial was to deliver emotion as a rally cry to get American's together so we can go back to be a collective power that was once so prominent. Yes one would think due to the Obama administration bailing out the company, many believe they owed the administration but using that same logic they also bailed out GM, a strong competitor of Chrysler. So I believe Chrysler had no reason to add a political message in their commercial. Chrysler's idea was to sell cars, not to start a political uproar. If this country wants to be the manufacturing superpower it once was, I believe the people of this nation need to come together and help the auto industry flourish instead of pointing fingers at these companies for so called political agendas. Its HALFTIME America, so let's come together in a non-partisan manner.
