Between Akin and Eastwood, I guess I can conclude that...

... I can see weird people.

Some liked it; some didn’t. I enjoyed it. I think the liberals hated his words/routine going after Obama because it was effective in some ways. At least, he was honest, funny and you know they didn’t write his message for him. To me, he was the best of the speakers because he is solid; he could care less what they in the media say.

Sorry, guess I just a little prejudice (is that raaaaacist?) but I didn't see it that way.

I'm guessing he sort of winged it and was making it up as he went along.

Naturally, all Leftist/Libs/Commies/RATS, etc. and their sycophant Dear Reader supporters are going to be upset that a notable Hollyweird actor was making sport of their Messiah.

I thought I was going to fall out of my chair when he supposedly was told by O'Bummer to tell Mitt to go fungool himself and said: "what do you want me to tell Romney? I can’t tell him to do that. I can’t tell him to do that to himself.

Tooooo funny.

He brought the house down when he said "We own this country" and he said what needs to be said over and over and over: The pols (and all other gov't employees) "WORK FOR US", hinting "We hire(d) you, we can fire your worthless asses" and then he drove the Libs nuts when he made a throat cutting gesture.

lol..just watching it now...it wasn’t “weird” at all unless you’re a democrat. It was funny. He made specific appeals to different groups. I got it.

Anything that tweaks the liberals and the media (but I repeat myself) is fine with me. The empty chair was a great representation of Obama.

If you compare Clint Eastwood and Obama, at least Clint has a record you can follow back to 1930. With Obama, his record is said to start in 1961 but with all the hidden parts, it is hard to follow or even find anyone who knew him as a youth or school mate. Even his book uses made up girlfriends. Clint can speak of his films while all Obama mentions of his record is that it was not his fault.

The empty chair is Obama.

The only difference is if Obama had actually been there is, there would have a teleprompter on each side of the chair... and an empty suit sitting upon it.

I enjoyed it very much. Clint had problems with the teleprompter. I am willing to bet that many of you would fail... when you reach the age of 82... boarding a plane and flying coast to coast... and addressing America impromptu without having a few uh and ahhs come out. He stuttered less than that kenyan usurping connoisseur of man gravy named obama. Clint was magnificent. You have the right to your opinions... and I have the right to mine.

What Clint did was brilliant stage craft, only someone from his guild could do that. It was loaded with Metaphors, The Invisible POTUS, the Shrinking POTUS, and his responses the Angry one we know he can be. But I also diminished him, i.e. he was "gone" as in a past tense. That is huge, so many of us have put Obama behind us, we are just waiting until November to make it Official.

And I bet it got so under Obama's skin we get another "you didn't build that"

Tangent to this it was a giant up-yours to PC and the Dominant Media particularly the talking heads MC'ing the event. I have heard some reactions, but I bet even today they are livid...

Man, he seemed old. However, he was a regular guy that conveyed the frustration that a lot of people have in a down to earth way. Unconventional but excellent, particularly to the non-political junkies. Moreover, since the libs on MSNBC and the liberal blogosphere are foaming at the mouth about it, it had to have been effective to them as well! Suprisingly excellent last day of the convention.

Eastwood is Warner Bros. He made some clear points echoing our thoughts of this is our country; not theirs.

Go ahead. Vet my day. A fistful of incoherence. High slurs rambler. Every which way and loose.

Lol, I doubt that. Eastwood has been an actor for around sixty years. He was talking to an empty chair and obviously using humor to ridicule Obama. I expect he did exactly what he intended to do exactly as he intended to do it.

I love Eastwood but he did seem more than a little bit confused up there.He reminded me a lot of my Dad in his last few years.I felt sorry for him as I watched.

Clint was “Awesome”! Each quip was a fearless, bullseye, .44 slug delivered right at the heart of socialism.

Btw,Eastwood is Warner Bros. He made some clear points echoing our thoughts of this is our country; not theirs. Let the Democrats scream, holler or whatever. That’s what communists do. We need a leader; not a Dear Leader. If some of the Republican elitists want to control; let them eventually wither on the vine.

Our country is ours; not theirs.

I never was much of a fan of Eastwood’s, maybe because i don,t think i would like to call myself a fan, a fan is only good for one thing and not very good at that.

But one thing you can not call him is a white washed sepulchre, it is really amazing how simple the truth is when ever it is spoken with out any hidden intent and a bunch of mealy mouthed words that are intended to cushion the blow.

Clint added a buzz to help continue public conversation beyond the RNC convention...time to let Obama go.

Liked how he touched on Obama flying around in Air Force One to...talk about student loans

Through use of humor... highlights Obama's backward priorities, ineffectively ignoring big issues, hypocrisy preaching green energy, fuel efficiency and his childlike behavior

...basically time to take the keys away and put an adult in charge.
