Clint Eastwood Debates, Slams Invisible President Obama on Republican National Convention Stage
by Free Britney at .Movie icon Clint Eastwood delivered an unscripted and bizarre endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Thursday night.
Taking the stage before Mitt Romney's speech to the party's national convention, Eastwood carried on a rambling "conversation" with an empty chair.
A chair occupied by an imaginary President Barack Obama. Seriously:
The Oscar-winning director criticized Obama for failing to turn the economy around and for wanting to close the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects.
"How do you handle the promises you've made? What do you say?" he asked the invisible Obama. "I know even some of the people in your party were disappointed."
At another, even stranger point, the 82-year-old Eastwood acted as if he were listening to imaginary Obama unleash a diatribe against Romney, poking Vice President Joe Biden and letting the convention audience "guess what the president said."
"He can't do that to himself. You're absolutely crazy!" Eastwood responded.
"You're getting as bad as Biden. Biden is the intellect in the Democratic Party. It's just kind of a grin with a body behind it."
At one point, Eastwood talked about the need for change.
"When somebody doesn't do the job, you gotta let 'em go," Eastwood said. Then the tough-guy actor of Dirty Harry fame drew a finger across his throat.
Backstage, stern-faced Romney aides winced for 10 minutes straight.
And the winner of this "debate" is ...

WAY TO GO SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST!!!! THE CHAIR HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS NOW!!!!
Clint has a set of balls that would choke a Clydesdale. Short version- he told Hollywood to kiss his ass. He told democrats they need to be fired and he told Obama he was nobody- just like what was in that chair.
