NEW YORK -- Clint Eastwood's Chrysler ad is one of the most talked-about commercials of the Super Bowl.
SEE THE AD
Some saw it as a political ad, supporting the White House decision to bail out certain carmakers with taxpayer money. But late Monday, Eastwood, 81, said that was not his intention.
"I am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama," Eastwood told Fox News Channel. "I am not supporting any politician at this time."
"There is no spin in that ad. On this I am certain," Eastwood told The O'Reilly Factor producer Ron Mitchell. "It was meant to be a message about job growth and the spirit of America. I think all politicians will agree with it. ... If Obama or any other politician wants to run with the spirit of that ad, go for it."
Eastwood also said he donated his pay for the ad to charity.
