WH disses Clint Eastwood over anti-Obama speech
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | Sept. 1, 2012 | Joel Gehrke

President Obama’s spokesman derided Clint Eastwood for his remarks at the Republican National Convention, in which Eastwood made a series of jokes at the president’s expense by pretending to conduct an interview with Obama while only talking to an empty chair.

“I wasn’t quite sure what I was watching,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said yesterday of Eastwood’s performance. He prefaced that dismissal by saying, “I’m a huge fan and admirer of Clint Eastwood’s work, both as a director and an actor.”

Eastwood made several jokes at Obama’s expense and that of Vice President Joe Biden (whom he called “a grin with a body behind it) during a skit that ended with a statement explaining why he thinks the president — whom Eastwood was excited to see inaugurated in 2008 — should lose his reelection bid.

I imagine Eric the Holder is going to sue Arizona because of Clint’s speech.

I say the same about you, Jay, every time your face comes on the TV. It's like watching old Super Circus video. You never know what spin will show up next...

Keep talking and more people who haven’t seen it will.

We have multiple hits below the waterline. The vessel is sinking. Down periscope.

I am sure he DID not know what he was watching since he has been brainwashed....

Hey Jay, would you like some cheese with that whine?

He pissed off all the right people. I think we need to see this again in 30 second spots.

I thought Carney said that they didn’t watch the convention and that Barry and his boys just sat around charging their iPods while the convention was on.

Whoever the resident WH "genius" was that shot back the photo saying, "This chair is taken" should be fired, for it simply acknowledged and synthesized the very essence of the Eastwood gem.

Same with Carney.

The Dem "talking heads" and surrogates just can't bring themselves to acknowledge that the entire world "got" Eastwood's message loud and clear--and they have nowhere to hide.

Agree, too, with Applegateranch's comments on another thread about the genius of Eastwood's use of his object's own "egregious speech pattern," commonly referred to by pseudointellectual "progressives" as a sign of Obama's great intellect and deliberative style. Now, Eastwood's use of it, with "progressives" (an entire set of "empty chairs" when it comes to understanding and defending the ideas of freedom), such a "deliberate" and halting style denotes everything from senility to "doddering fool."

Another gem was his use of a former President's assessment of Romney's "stellar business performance" in this total unmasking of the great destroyer of business in America.

From Geraldo Rivera on FOX to Gloria Borger on CNN, the faux criticism and claims that Eastwood distracted from the Romney speech and Borger's claim that parts were "crass" are laughable when compared with much of the Dem performer language and inferences.

This was a priceless and iconic performance which will live on, long after Eastwood is gone, and Obama is a distant memory in the rearview mirror of presidents.

Imagine....never having to see Jay Carney, the pasty-faced weenie, Eric Holder, the bigoted crook, and Big Sis Napolitano, chief of the Homo Dept., after Jan. 21.

That is enough to motivate any patriot to vote.

“I wasn’t quite sure what I was watching,”

Yes you did, you were watching an American question its leader - talking to him the same way he talks to us.

Ya got to love the epic arrogance of government employees, pretending and acting like they just don't quite get it.

These people and their endless lies are just plain 100% evil.

What I recall reading was that Carney claimed Obama claimed not to have watched. And that was early in the convention. But, I haven’t been paying attention to their ramblings since.

I put an empty chair from my doll furniture collection in the rear window of my car. It’ll be even better at night because every time I step on the brake...a red light goes on a few inches away.

Carney's worst nightmare is happening as we speak:

ECOTUS has gone viral...

Exactly!

The various videos of Clint's performance on youtube have almost 2 million (collective) hits so far...and the party is just getting started.
