It's Halftime in America
Maybe I'm naive or just missed something, but I saw the Clint/Chrysler ad as pro-Detroit, pro-automaker and a good old-fashioned wake up call to Americans that we have been on hard times and that we have a chance to pick ourselves up by our proverbial bootstraps and show the rest of the world what we can do when we put our minds to being the best. But, then, maybe I am really just naive or blinded by the plight of Detroit, the place of my birth and all of my childhood and young adult memories and remembering the hard work of people like my father, Roland Tolliver, and all they have given to the Motor City. But, that's just my opinion.
