The Twitter account of Barack Obama responded last night to Clint Eastwood's Republican convention speech mocking Obama with an empty chair.
A photo captioned "This seat's taken" was posted featuring a rear view of Obama presiding over a meeting while seated in a highback leather chair with a brass plaque on the back embossed, "THE PRESIDENT January 20, 2009"

I look at Clint Eastwood as a legend who was given a serious message via comic relief.

He’s a very popular 82 year old man. He’s an actor and very well received by movie fans. In fact, I think BO is bothered by the fact that Eastwood might be more popular than he is. That fact would bother him emensely. Immature insecure people are usually very afraid of accomplished people.

“He didn’t need to do this to himself. It’s unworthy of him.” Telling the truth is unworthy, Roger?

For Hussien to respond this way to a speech from an actor and not a major political figure shows how thin-skinned Hussien is. He’s got a glass jaw too.

Is this “do-able”??
