Simply put, Eastwood's job was to make it OK to laugh at President Obama, and to vote against him without worrying that one might be a racist for firing the first black president.

I've been saying this on a number of posts this morning. Clint Eastwood opened the door to it being all right to openly criticize Obama, even to the point of ridicule. And I was thinking earlier, and this article makes me suspect it's true, even his appearance last night, the messed up hair, the sometimes stuttering approach, the supposed loss for words, it was one of the great political staged appearances I can remember. It was all an act. And the left has fallen for it, openly tweaking "dementia" in reference to his appearance.

Go ahead, media and you leftists. Make fools of yourselves.

That is a GREAT link, thanks for posting it.

Eastwood served as the one who points out the inescapable fact that the emperor has no clothes.

The Greatest Piece of Performance Art in American Political History -- Ed Timperlake

Americans can hear hard messages coming from Clint. He has a certain immunity that comes with being old and beloved. Yes, some of his sentences did not complete themselves. Yes, he was a bit doddering. And yes, his F yourself jokes were crude. Grandpa sometimes embarrasses the family at birthdays and anniversaries by bringing up uncomfortable topics. But everyone also loves Grandpa, and realizes he tells the truth because he hasn't got that much longer with us, and doesn't give a damn anymore what people think. The one thing everyone remembers about the party afterward is when Grandpa mentioned the adultery, the grandkid who did drugs, or the other secrets that everyone prefers to keep their mouths shut about.

There are lots of truths about President Obama -- including that he really isn't such a nice guy -- that the media will not allow consideration of. Except from Grandpa.

So yes, MSNBC pundits, go on and on about "senile old Clint" or his "bizarre" presentation. Keep people thinking about the un-pc message he delivered.



Yep. Go ahead. Make our day. (spits)
