This year's was even more powerful, but I think it also had more impact simply because Detroit has come back even more. I frankly don't blame the Republicans for being pissed, I thought the Clint add was about as powerful an Obama commercial as I could ever hope for. The things conservatives (and, not a few liberals) have been bashing the president for over the last 2.5 years have paid off, and the corner is being approached and about to be turned. If Apple had done a "Morning in America" commercial in 1984 I certainly would have been bummed - nothing illegal or immoral about it, just pissed that it would be so damn effective. -- TV or Not TV ....
