Karl Rove ‘offended’ by Clint Eastwood’s Chrysler ad - The Washington Post
A Chrysler ad aired during the Super Bowl Sunday night has inspired ire among some Republicans and admiration among some Democrats with both sides seeing a political message that boosts President Obama.
In an ad touting the resurgence of the American auto industry, Clint Eastwood declared that its halftime in America and our second halfs about to begin, which could be interpreted as a reference to Obamas second term. 
The ads themes seem to echo Obamas own argument that his administration brought the auto industry back from the brink of disaster.
They almost lost everything, Eastwood says of Detroit. But we all pulled together. Now Motor City is fighting again.
I was, frankly, offended by it, said Karl Rove on Fox News Monday. I'm a huge fan of Clint Eastwood, I thought it was an extremely well-done ad, but it is a sign of what happens when you have Chicago-style politics, and the president of the United States and his political minions are, in essence, using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising.
