Holly Hall Wilson It's Chrysler commercial that appeals to patriotic and proud Americans that don't think we're on the fast track to hell. Unfortunately, one political party can't handle a message with such overt optimism being delivered during our current president's term.
Lorne Entress The Republicans only chance at winning back the White House is to paint America as a bleak, failed society. When they see a powerful, hope-filled ad that gives evidence of progress, of people working with their government to make things better, they cry foul. Let's not forget the Republicans primary, self-admitted goal. It's not to work together to make a better country. It's to defeat President Obama.
Carol Ruth Shepherd The GOP is so heavily invested in its own recursive negativity and pessimism it reads any expression of optimism and faith in this great country as socialist Democrat machine propaganda.
Matt Moore Loved the ad. As the good book says, let's forget what lies behind and look forward to what lies ahead. Companies need to advertise, and they used an iconic figure to promote an historic brand in a city that needs all the positive coverage it can get. Conservatives should be the first people to be UN-concerned about how a corporation spends its money.
Ian Colte Patriotic. The only people who think it was pro-Obama are the same people who believe anything that might imply that Obama hasn't destroyed America is a liberal conspiracy. Whacko.
Robert Melusky I thought the Republican response was bizarre but in character with the extreme right shift that is destroying the party. I didn't read it as anything Democratic but a call to action in the tradition of The Greatest Generation. If the Republicans can't get behind that positive message, how will they demonstrate to America any semblance of leadership?
Lee Woodward First impressions are what count. I saw it as an ad which was for being pro American for a car builder who can get its act together design and quality wise and we should be supportive of this renaissance whether it was "bailed out" or not. And I am a strong Conservative Republican. Sorry some always have to get their anti-GOP remarks in no matter what. Given all that, it was not nearly as good of an ad as last year's Chrysler ad, which was considered the best for 2011, but was more product oriented.
