karl rove was -- has a hissy fit over nothing. clint eastwood has been a conservative but what that told me, ed, is they are starting to understand that they've destroyed their brand. their brand, ronald reagan's brand was optimism. they were the ones with faith in the country, they were the ones who believed our brightest days were ahead. and they managed to pick democrats off in this kind of nervous nellies and critical of the country and not great believers in the spirit. what i think you have seen now is karl rove is terrified, when he hears that language it sounds like barack obama. it wasn't about barack obama, but it sounds like it. that is not good news for republicans and it shows how far that we've turned a corner where the republicans are the negative, nasty pessimistic ones and the democrats are the ones with the optimism. >> i find it amazing, you think back in the days, e.j., karl rove running the political machine for george bush, must be a low day for him to have to come out and comment on a super bowl ad that talk

rove, just apparently doesn't like facts. he's not a guy that ever lets facts get in the way of his opinion. and we're seeing that his opinion is trumping the facts of the situation. president obama made an unpopular decision around the country but was right for american workers not just in michigan but across the country. >> congressman, do you think it was the right thing to take that ad out and do that by chrysler? do you think it was the right thing to do? >> it is absolutely the right thing to do. the american public needs to understand that when you bet on american workers, you will win. you will win every time. we had a situation as you mentioned at the top of the program because of the greed on wall street that brought our economy to its knees we had a situation, we almost lost major manufacturing industry in our country. had we lost the auto industry in this country, it would have meant middle class americans would have found their livelihood in danger. that is what the american auto industry is, a manufacturer, we n

nonother than carl rove said he was offended. how is an ad promoting the comeback being seen as vile and negative as some in republican circles. wasn't it clint eastwood who was considered for a vice president's position by a republican? >> that's exactly right. in 1988, george bush, was considering him. here is the thing. this is really quite disgusting on the part of carl rove. you heard the republican talking points saying i wonder how much the obama campaign paided clint eastwood. when i watched that ad it gave me goose bumps. that's my country. that is america. that's the america that i know the values that my parents raised me with which is we fight. we fight on, and we get back up, and that's part of what makes america such a great country. carl rove is offended by that and the same time it's the republicans who are saying that president obama is anti-american and these guys are attacking the american auto workers, the communities, the people that brought that industry back. they're anti-american. >> the president's spokes
