Yes, I agree, Biggirl, but there was a much deeper "message" in the detailed and well-thought-out litany laid out by Eastwood, and directed to imaginary occupant of the "chair"--a message that must not be overlooked.

Leadership has been "missing" on principles and ideas dear to freedom and prosperity, but, and this is a big but, there are forces who wish to "fundamentally change" and eradicate the principles of the Framers' Constitution who see that chair as having been occupied and active in its "progressing" of another set of ideas.

We must be specific in describing to our youth the difference between the Presidential leadership of Washington or Jefferson on behalf of freedom and that of a president "absent" on those principles essential to liberty.

"Where will empty chair be going today? Will he golf?

Just sitting back and enjoying a reefer.

Freedom lovers should not carry the "empty chair" symbolism so far

My wife asked similar question- What good is it for those who don't know the reference. I responded, they will ask others and others will inform them.

A political sign tries to do the same thing, but I think this is more powerful because its different.

Good thought!!! And when they ask, tell them to view the Eastwood video. They will “get” the many other messages contained in that conversation with the imaginary occupant of that chair—and the message will resound within them, because their instincts will tell them that Eastwood’s points are right on target—that it is not that the chair has been “empty,” but that its occupant’s policies have failed.

That’s what I was wondering. I watch AMC a lot (I’m a “Hell On Wheels” fanatic) and didn’t see it being advertised. It’s a hoot that they are doing it today on Empty Chair day though.

I thought the empty POTUS was supposed to be visiting NOLA or some place ravaged by Hurricane Isaac?

Or did Air Force One make an emergency landing abort when the pilots saw the runway had two rows on each side of thousands of empty chairs?

It’s a great way to draw viewers.

Now I’ll have something to watch while the DEMons conduct their circus.

Via “Popwatch”:

“AMC had its Clint Eastwood movie marathon planned way before the whole Invisible Obama thing happened. Try to forget his rambling address by remembering how great he was in films like A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. (10 a.m.-12 a.m.)”

AMC got lucky...punk.

;D
