Here's a Clint Eastwood commercial for Chrysler that's causing a lot of controversy in the US. It was played at Halftime of the Super Bowl (I watched the game without commercials, so I did not see it until I saw references to it and went and found it on YouTube).
The reason it's so controversial is that a lot of people see it as supporting President Obama - a charge that Eastwood denies (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).
Let's go to the videotape.
When you're getting blown out at Halftime, you get a new game plan. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for those of us who would like to see him defeated in November), Obama is closing his eyes to the scoreboard and continuing with the old game plan.
After losing in the AFC divisional round last month, the Ravens have been given 14-to-1 odds to win the Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
The Green Bay Packers, who beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl on Sunday, are favored to repeat with 7-to-1 odds. The other top favorites are: New England (8/1), Pittsburgh (10/1) and San Diego (12/1).
For those who missed it, Brady had foot surgery right after the Patriots lost in the divisional round. But he was the first ever unanimous choice for league MVP last week.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
