[hope]

It was a skit and I loved it...Reminded me of the last scene in Gran Torino. He knew he was on his way out, so he went down in flames anyway and took down the bad guys with him.

It’s still there.

Absolutly, ECOTUS (empty chair of the US)

We liked the speech, for 82 years old and off the cuff he did fine. I wish he had combed his hair before he went out though.

Favorite Clint movies are: Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, Kelly’s Heroes, Where Eagles Dare, Escape from Alcatraz, The Eiger Sanction, Play Misty for Me, and the Rawhide TV series.

Based on the latest comments on Youtube, it seems the Lib’s are very upset. Lol!

iFreeped it! Do I get a prize now??

No!!!

First you need to obtain the 2012 special conservative decoder ring and the most recent code.

Then you need to genuflect in the general direction of John McCain's favorite golf course.

After that you have to kiss Bob Dole's ring, skydive with George H. W. Bush and eat Barbara Bush's special Jello key lime pie.

Then and only then can you register for the prize.

Sorry, FRiend, just trying to be funny.

[Wings-n-Wind]

...but can we please admit the speech sucked?

*******

The "speech" was political theatre...
...And Clint is the master of his craft...

I thought it was a VERYYYY effective...
And brilliantly simple work of theatrical art...

Even his disheveled appearance and stumbling delivery were part of the schtick...

JMO...

Clint stumbled a couple times, he’s 82. He did fine.

[Red_Devil 232]

A sane person has to love Clint’s speech and his excellent presentation. It was a brilliant take-down of Obama, in a low key humble way! Clint pulled it off perfectly. Jimmy Stewart style. I love it.

Watch

I’ve watched it twice.

There is, apparently, an Internet phenomenon called Eastwooding where posters shame an empty seat.

[tsowellfan]

LOL!

[DallasDeb]

The Unforgiven.

[Inyo-Mono]

Absolutely loved Clint’s “performance art”! Truly brilliant and it was a page out of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals - to beat an opponent, first you have to ridicule him. And, I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen Obama truly skewered like that, in public, on a huge stage, by a cultural icon...

You nailed it!

[MNJohnnie]

Polled!
