Chrysler Commercial - It's Halftime in America

[jefferson_dem]

[handmade34]

1. "we all pulled together"

powerful stuff

[Tx4obama]

2. K & R. Sounds like a re-elect President Obama ad to me :) n/t

[justgamma]

3. It might if Eastwood wasn't a Republican. n/t

[Tx4obama]

4. He might not like the four remaining GOP candidates.

Even Florida's republican ex-Gov Charlie Crist says he might consider voting for President Obama this time around.

So, there's no telling what other republicans might do too

[Jester Messiah]

26. To me it seems more like a plea that we stop the inter-party squabbling and unite as Americans. [nt]

[James48]

5. Clint-

I know what you're thinking.

"Did he buy six cars or only five?"

Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.

But being as this is a Chrysler Magnum, one of the the most powerful production station wagons in the world, and would blow your car clean away, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?

Well, do ya, punk?

Go ahead....make my car.

7. Best ad of the Superbowl.

And, yeah, it did sound like an Obama ad.

[mucifer]

8. This was a great ad. But, I also want to be petty and say I liked

The vampire slaying chevy ad, too.

[maximusveritas]

9. Sad that talking positively about working together for America = Obama ad

but that's what it's come to as the Republicans wish for economic failure and obstruct the President at every turn.

11. Clint Eastwod has a crush on Herman Cain and he also opposed bailing out the car companies

14. After reading that, it seems he might have done the commercial for big money.

The narration in the commercial certainly supports American workers, which the party of NO! certainly doesn't. I'm left scratching my head.

[tulsakatz]

12. excellent!!

...reminds me of his role in Gran Torino! Excellent comment, Clint!

[Historic NY]

13. I'm a chrysler man, stood by them before and will again....

in fact I own 2 old road boats. Of course I also own a couple GM's too.

[Grassy Knoll]

15. Fox Noise Will Want A Little Correction Interview...

Because this makes Obama haters look very bad.
P.S. Pats deserved to lose for having "Rush the Magic Booger"
in their executive suite.

[aquart]

16. I LOVE IT! And I'm crying.

[corkhead]

17. googletube took it down... here's a working link

20. They take down commercials? Seriously? Commercials? n/t

[Douglas Carpenter]

18. It's Springtime in America again. "It's Halftime in America" - I sense a similarity in the theme

of Reagan's 1984 campaign - But I obvously prefer this one -- this link works by the way

21. "...and our SECOND half is about to begin" !!

[Badsam]

19. It was so good they don't want us to see

It again? So glad I skipped the Superbowl.
The NFL sucks but I do love my Niners. Makes me sad they benefit from something that I care about.

[gateley]

22. Wow - finally got to watch. Powerful. Good job, Chrysler! Good job, Obama! nt

[Boombaby]

23. I haven't been here long enough

to say what I think of this ad.

[FailureToCommunicate]

24. Welcome to DU.

[Boombaby]

25. Thanks

[DaveJ]

27. "The world's gonna hear the roar of our engines"

I'm not exactly clear on what that means. I wonder if that includes health coverage for all of us, at some point.

I'm not sure about all this "winning" rhetoric is about when it's not clear what the game or the objective is. If it means winning against the 1% like the Romoney's who extract wealth from all of us, then sure I'm all for it.

[hedgehog]

28. Is there any way to find out who wrote the music for the ad -

or who did the filming? It is a fantastic piece. What's notable is that people still remember last year's ad!

[Obama3_16]

29. such a great ad. similar to the one right before election 08 with Paul Simon song

[hedgehog]

30. LOL - Fox is complaining that it wasn't filmed entirely in Detroit!

[ObaMania]

31. It's almost like Eastwood is having an Atwater "come to Jesus" moment.

WTF??

Anyway.. I have a Dodge Challenger and the production tag inside the door says it was made in Canada and the parts are from Mexico. So maybe the finished product is dropped off in Detroit and shipped off to the various dealers in the US, but that whole Imported From Detroit thing doesn't hold water with me.

[kirby]

32. I hate this commercial...

Who is the 'we all pulled together' folks he is talking about? Isn't this the stimulus package that not a single Republican voted for? Or am I mistaken?

Wasn't Clint Eastwood himself railing against the gov't bailouts?

Now that the automakers are doing better the other side wants to take credit? Pullease!!!

[Mabus]

34. I didn't like that he portrayed protesters (ala Occupy) when the word "blame" was used

but then again, I hate Clint Eastwood because he demonstrated his ignorance to me when he talked about his crush on Herman "I'm Just Running to Sell Books and Promote My Career as a Motivational Speaker" Cain.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. This ad is pure poetry!

Amazing use of photography, and his words and face...

Really beautiful.

Proud to recommend.

[Major Hogwash]

35. Great ad and was the best one at the Super Bowl.

This one will be remembered for years and years to come, just like Apple's Macintosh ad from 1984.

[JJW]

36. Gas guzzlers?

Saving America by building gas guzzlers? I don't think so. Guess Clint is a global warming denier.
