Barack Obama told USA Today that the RNC speech delivered by veteran Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood did not offend his political or personal sensibilities.
On the contrary, POTUS claims to be a huge fan of the acting and directing legend. “One thing about being president or running for president — if you’re easily offended, you should probably choose another profession.”
Eastwood spent eleven minutes sparring with invisible Obama … actually running over his allotted time by a full six minutes.
His Hollywood peers hit Twitter in great numbers to diss or praise Clint, depending upon their particular point of view.
Obama took the opportunity to mock Eastwood’s speech by tweeting a photo featuring himself sitting in a chair during a meeting. We see just the back of his head and can’t help but notice that a gold nameplate on the back of said chair is engraved “The President.” He tagged it: “This seat’s taken.”
