I agree with the many posters who believe the dottering fool approach was in the style of Jimmy Stewart.
I agree - Eastwood’s “shtick” was absolutely brilliant! And, I believe it was not at all unplanned. This is an accomplished iconic actor who’s no dottering old fool. When I was at each of the 3 screenings of “2016” that I’ve seen, Clint’s new movie (”The Trouble with Curves”) which he directed and stars in was a featured trailer. I agree with the many posters who believe the dottering fool approach was in the style of Jimmy Stewart. If you read the lines Clint delivered, they were absolutely devastating. Not even a fired up Mark Levin could have ripped apart the “mystique” of Dear Leader better than Clint did!
Clint’s apperarance, of course, was to help create in the popular culture legitimacy of Romney/Ryan/GOP claims that Obama is an historically failed president. On a night in which the main speakers (Rubio, Romney) took great pains to tell us what a great guy Obamugabe is and “it’s OK to make a change”, inserting Eastwood was truly brilliant. He said all the things that the main speakers couldn’t, given their strategy to appeal to the undecideds. Plus, the empty chair meme has already percolated into popular discourse and social media. Won’t be surprised to see empty chairs strategically placed at Romney/Ryan rallies for the next 2 months.
Moreover, this was the 1st time that I can recall in which Obama was truly ridiculed - and it was devastating - and it was in front of 40 million people! Let the left/MSM squeal. From now on, when people see an empty chair, they’re going to think of the Islamomarixist!

Ans as Rush L pointed out a TelePrompTer in front of the chair.
I know Clint, and he is as sharp as a samurai sword. He flattened Obama. Not only turned him into an empty chair, but a crude, foul-mouthed one at that. Great stuff.
