Obama Campaign Responds to Eastwood's Empty Chair Jibe
Friday, August 31, 2012 | Kristinn

The Twitter account of Barack Obama responded last night to Clint Eastwood's Republican convention speech mocking Obama with an empty chair.

A photo captioned "This seat's taken" was posted featuring a rear view of Obama presiding over a meeting while seated in a highback leather chair with a brass plaque on the back embossed, "THE PRESIDENT January 20, 2009"

Straight out of Alinsky. Ridicule.

While I agree with that, I don't believe that was the source of the scripted event. And it was scripted. I've read there may have been a teleprompter that didn't work which may have thrown him off somewhat, but it was still scripted.

No, I think it was a planned event that accidentally fit the Alinsky method. I don't think we need to make too much of this.

What device are you on or are you at 800x600?

It has nothing to do with my monitor. It has to do with the file you copied and it's default size. Which was huge.

If you put the IMG HEIGHT command in , it sets it to a reasonable size.

Try posting a picture, and keep previewing it with different IMG HEIGHT sizes (200,300,400).

You will see what I mean.

Yes thats right:

“The RESIDENT, 20th January, A.D. 2009”
“Insha’Allah”

is what it should read.

Love your analysis...another point about the picture..he’s not engaged in the conversation. Look at the guy to the left...leaning forward, talking, engaged. Look at Obama. Sitting back, head tilted almost as if he’s asleep. Not engaged.

Obumpo from the rear, sitting in high-back “Taken” chair:

That’s really ironic you put Obumpo’s moronic logo on the inside of a toilet seat top/cover.

Always thought it looked like our flag going down the toilet.
Would not be surprised to know that was the intent - - -

I have always hated that logo. It does seems the intent was to desecrate our flag.

Clint, like me, is old and worked well over the years. I admire him. His delivery was fine with me and it sure hit the RATS in the ass. The RAT convention will be a crap load of Hollywood junk. Can’t stand that bunch of anti Americans. But still there are a few great ones in Hollywood, it’s just that the whole piece of land called Hollywood is made mostly the sickest bunch of junk in America.
