[Media] Clint Eastwood Ad

[CaptainAmerica]

When the commercial was on during the game I turned to my uncle and my mom and dad,and my sister and I said "Its beyond half time,especially if we don't have a gold standard to back our dollars worthless value".

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Heres the extended commercial cut at the end:




Clint eastwood reached for his m1 garand and loaded it.

How the halftime (in America) speech should have gone.

"It's halftime in America. We started out this game strong and ran up the score. I guess we thought we could run the clock out. And because of that, we let our coaches call some really stupid plays. In fact, our coaches seem to be calling plays against us, the players. Hell, if it were up to the coaches, this game would already be over. We let them get us far far away from our original gameplan and now we're paying the price. Not only have we lost our lead, we've dug ourselves a huge hole. Sure, there will be some telling you that this hole is too deep and we'll never be able to dig out of it. I say that's bullshit! We can win this thing if we get back to our original gameplan. That gameplan made us the best team in the league. That gameplan allowed us to run up the score. It's time we take this game on our shoulders and fire our coaches. Except for one. Only Coach Paul understands that old gameplan. Hell, he may be the only coach who has even read it! Don't give up team! We got this! Here comes the comeback!"

Detroit had decades to better the processes... make a better quality, more fuel efficient vehicle.... but nooooooo. Now they are gonna build their future on the backs of our grandchildren, and most American cars still suck ass.

That's why I drive a Honda. Well, besides the fact I work for them. Even if I didn't, I would never buy American. Ford has stepped up their game if anyone likes American cars and buy into that "buy America" propaganda.

Check out USA Today. It is a full front page ad.

 

[musicmax]

I hate Government Electric but I'm not ready to punish Budweiser for making a commercial with them.

You'd rather punish yourself by drinking Bud?

Probably an effecetive Chrysler ad , but , yeah , just looking at the CBO numbers , the debt , the lack of fortitude to cut spending , the un funded liabilities , we are way past halftime . I like my F 150. My brother is on the road , maybe four days a week for his job , in a rental car , he likes that new Chrysler 300 .

 

[Zippyjuan]

I liked the positive attitude of the ad. Nice to see some optimism about the future instead of all the pessimism which has been dominating.

Reminded me of the Reagan campaign ad "Morning In America".

 

[blabam]

I LOL'ed at the "detroit showed us it can be done part" hahaha

 

[amonasro]

Paid for by the American taxpayer.

 

[bolil]

Wait, won't the second half end too? Tooooo gloooomy.

 

[Matthew5]

Half time implies we're fighting another team? Who is on which side, I wonder? What do we win?

 

[nobody's_hero]

You'd rather punish yourself by drinking Bud?

I like any beer, particularly the stuff that strips paint, but I judging by a quick glance in my fridge, Miller is what I drink the most of, lol

Plus I have to give Bud props for the 'prohibition' ad. It was kind of cheesy but not much gets said about prohibition anymore (at least not by those who refuse to admit that it failed) and I'm glad that alcohol made a comeback.

Chrysler is not owned by the US government anymore, not even 1%. So to draw some sort of parallel between the SOTU and Obama and this Chrysler ad is completely ridiculous.

Who can say where Chrysler would be today if the government hadn't showed favoritism by giving them a bailout? Who might be in Chrysler's place, doing a better job?

It's a slap in the face of free-market capitalism when government essentially gives money to a company and takes it back later when the company no longer needs it. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal that most businessmen would love to get offered, but only those who have connections in Washington could pull it off.

They'll keep the giants alive, and destroy millions of smaller companies in the process, since the smaller companies cannot compete with companies that the government thinks are "too big to fail".

Half time? Alright! We've got 236 years left!

Except for the expletive, this would have been a superlative Superbowl ad for Ron Paul! Especially if Eastwood had endorsed Paul.

Being a bit optimistic today , I see

 

[WilliamC]

I think we're a lot closer to the endgame than the halftime

ZH: Yes, It Is Halftime In America

And Clint Eastwood certainly did not mean to endorse Obama during the commercial. The following is what Eastwood told Fox News about the ad....

"I just want to say that the spin stops with you guys, and there is no spin in that ad. On this I am certain.

l am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama. It was meant to be a message about just about job growth and the spirit of America. I think all politicians will agree with it. I thought the spirit was OK."

The cold, hard reality of the matter is that America has not "bounced back" since 2008. Sadly, the truth is that we are even in worse condition than we were back then....

-Our national debt has risen by about 50 percent since 2008.

-Our states are in more debt than ever.

-Our local governments are in more debt than ever.

-The U.S. economy has lost about 6 million jobs since 2008.

-Approximately 14 million more Americans have gone on food stamps since Barack Obama became president.

-More Americans are living in poverty than ever before.

-New home sales in the United States hit a brand new all-time record low during 2011.

-The number of "long-term unemployed workers" has more than doubled since Barack Obama entered the White House.

-The amount of money that the federal government gives directly to Americans has increased by 32 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House.

-Despite claims that things are "getting better", the truth is that the percentage of Americans that actually have jobs is almost exactly the same as it was two years ago.

Since it is "halftime in America", now is the time to get prepared for the next great financial crisis.

Now is the time to reduce your expenses.

Now is the time to get out of debt.

Now is the time to set aside some money so that you will have something to live on if you do happen to lose your job. I typically recommend that you have at least 6 months of living expenses stored up.

Now is the time to start a side business. Even if you are broke, there are some businesses out there that you can start up for no money. It isn't easy to start a business with no money, but it can be done.

Now is the time to grow a garden. Fruits and vegetables are often some of the most expensive items at the grocery store, and by growing them yourself you become less dependent on the system.

And that is the key. We all want to try to become less dependent on the system.

There is no guarantee that your job will always be there.

There is no guarantee that your insurance company or the financial institutions that you are working with today will always be there.

There is no guarantee that the government will be there "to save you" when you really need it.

Yes, it is halftime in America.

So get ready for the second half, because it is going to be a real nightmare.

So, "libertarian" eastwood supportes herman caine and then says Ron is as good as anybody therby lumping him in with the other liars in the gop and this is a sign of something?

I'd like to make his day. A simple montage of his support for that lowlife caine while he's claiming to be a libertarian and then the last part.
