Your Chicago Way read of the day comes from the Detroit News, where columnist Daniel Howes brings news that a few calls from the White House have led to Ford Motor Company yanking ads that spotlighted its refusal to take government auto bailout money.
The ad is no longer on the company’s YouTube page.
Nice car company ya got there, fellas. Would be a shame if anything happened to it… (h/t Is This Blog On, Cold Fury):

Ford buyer explaining he liked Ford NOT taking bailout and therefore would never buy from them...
My sentiments exactly...
Former Chevy owner
Ford should tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine!
The only logical thing to do.
Makes me want to buy a Ford.

Fascist Swine. I decided when the government took over those two companies that I’d NEVER buy one of their cars, and so far I have no reason to change my mind.
Taking the bailout money is like taking the Kool-Aid!
Doesn’t this sound like something out of “Atlas Shrugged”?
Dear White House,
FYI I will buy Ford autos for the rest of my life.
Should we send a note to AttackWatch informing on ourselves that we enjoyed those commercials and are buying Ford?
Put it this way, Chrysler is no longer an American company, its own by the Italian Fiat.
I bought a Toyota. Would have bought a Ford, but three letters stopped me...UAW.
Ford's ad was a "smear."
I'm buying a truck soon and was going back and forth between the Tundra and F150 (GM can kiss my ass).
That ad from Ford made my mind up for me. That and the fact that the '50 is a DAMN good truck.
When the Gov’t controls everything, everything is political.
