 Pols Debate Chrysler Super Bowl AdPosted on Feb 7, 2011
Given the outsourcing, the massive bailout, the abandoned houses and the rest of the city’s emotional baggage, it was sort of inevitable that Chrysler’s “Imported from Detroit” ad, featuring Eminem and spanning roughly $12 million worth of airtime, would elicit cheers and jeers from Congress. Rep. Dennis Ross summed up one point of view: “ ‘Imported from Detroit’ ... ‘borrowed from China.’ ” More from CBS News here.

Better use of tax dollars - build cars rather than to kill Afghans and Iraqis!

My take wasn’t nearly as cynical, though it is interesting that Chrysler is owned by Fiat. Budweiser also is foreign-owned. See: http://modeshift.org/
