One of the most overlooked subtleties was his parody of The Greatest Orator In All History’s egregious speech patterns.
Conservatives understand chess; liberals understand checkers.
Jeez, Applegate ...
Now I’ll need to watch Clint’s masterful performance yet AGAIN, with yet ANOTHER layer of subtlety to look for. I never thought about Obummer’s sloppy, stumbling speech pattern when he’s not reading from a teleprompter.
Clint Eastwood quietly made history on Thursday night. Glad I got to watch it.
Can you describe Clint’s parody of zero’s speech patterns? Maybe I forgot when he did this....
One thing that seemed obvious to me is that now it’s mainstream to mock Obama and his so called “soaring rhetoric” is not only exposed as empty and meaningless but it’s fun to ridicule zero for his baloney.
It was so dense-—I am sure most people will have to watch it several times.
God bless Clint Eastwood. I wasn’t expecting that subtle genius and clever delivery. I expected the straightforward==Make My Day==approach, which might have been unsuccessful this time, because he is getting up there in age. But WHAT a clear mind he still has!!!! Great to see it.
I will say it—he made my day! (I have a button with that saying and a picture of him wearing a white cowboy hat, from when he ran for mayor in Carmel). I should wear it around town until election time. HA!

You know, during his speech I couldn’t understand why Clint was laboring to speak clearly. I just figured that it was because he is 82 years old. It didn’t dawn on me, until I read your post, that he was mocking Bozo’s brutal speech pattern! That is brilliant, fantastic and hysterical!! Thanks for pointing that out!
Yes, all that Choom Gang Ganja has his brain demented and babbling. You are brilliant for pointing out that it was mockery, not the failings of an 82 yr old Clint.
What Clint did was an art form that I don't think people are still getting their arms around....
* It was the Artist Stagecraft, something you might only get at a high end drama training session in College, a push the envelope exercise of your mind and talents.
* It was not only Acting but Humor, maybe Poltical Satire at it's finest.
* The Metaphors of the empty seat i.e. Obama's empty promises, empty suit, the missing President, the dimished POTUS, etc etc etc are endless, we as Freepers' could brainstorm them for thousands of post...
The more we think about it, and replay it on the web, the more we see, we will be talking about this for quite sometime...
