'Talking To An Invisible Obama': Watch Highlights And Lowlights From Clint Eastwood's RNC Speech

Closes with: "Go ahead, make my day..."

-----

Highlight clip of Clint's one-liners.  This is pretty funny.

-----

This part of the speech failed miserably:

Clint talks to an empty chair pretending it's Obama.

-----

The weird parts compiled by TPM:

Listen for the line about closing Gitmo.  The audience goes silent.  It's doubtful that Eastwood made Romney's day with this speech.

It sounded to me as though Eastwood is in favor of Gitmo (calling it 'stupid' to have civil trials) ?

[DailyBail]

Yes.

And his reasoning that because we've spent so much money on it kind of silenced people.

FIRST SINCE '52: NO TALK OF WAR IN GOP SPEECH

WASHINGTON (AP) -- With America embroiled in its longest armed conflict, Mitt Romney became the first Republican since 1952 to accept his party's nomination without mentioning war.

Three election cycles after the 2001 terrorist attacks, neither Romney nor his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, had anything to say about terrorism or war while on their party's biggest stage. The only one who did Thursday was actor Clint Eastwood, who won cheers for suggesting invading Afghanistan was a mistake and calling for an immediate withdrawal of troops - a line that might have earned boos and catcalls four years ago.

Clint said exactly what he wanted to say..the way he wanted to say it. He was illustrating that plain talk about simple concepts can be done with less than serious demeanor and still make genuine sense. He disassembled Barack Obama and held up each piece like a golfer examining a golf ball to see if it’s cut or scuffed….and pointed out marks on each one.

Clint’s feigned senility was also a demonstration….that no amount of sophistry or media bias can hide the fact that inside Barack Obama’s suit is an empty place…and that he, for one, knew it.

I think Clint was making a point to his friends in Hollywood as well. That point is that he cannot be blackballed and intimidated….and he let us know that others agree with him. Hopefully, they will follow his lead…Too bad the only other name he was free to share was Jon Voigt..whom he identifies with. But obviously he was respecting the privacy of others.

I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time. Clint Eastwood is the first and possibly the only celebrity who has lampooned Barack Obama in public…and he did it by telling the simple truth about the man…nothing more. How fitting.
