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"

In a few days, in one of the new R&R ads, at the end, they should show Eastwood looking right into the camera, pause, and say, “what’s the matter, Mr. President? Can’t you take a joke?”

Does that chair have wings? OMG, that is his ears.

I thought he wasn’t listening to the GOP convention anyway.

Film critic Roger Ebert gave actor Clint Eastwood’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday two thumbs down.

“Clint, my hero, is coming across as sad and pathetic,” Ebert tweeted during Eastwood’s remarks. “He didn’t need to do this to himself. It’s unworthy of him.”

When I first saw this photo with the anti-Christ’s response, I thought, my, what a defensive response. But as I thought about it, I realized what surprised me more than the defensive, thin-skinned words was the photograph, itself.

Look at it a little. This huge, imposing chair. Certainly, the symbol of the American President! Beautiful leather! Large, high back! Even a plaque with the words, in big, bold, capital letters, just so that you don’t miss it, “THE PRESIDENT.” I can see the shadows of Greek columns vaguely in the background.

With this teeny, tiny head popping up above the back of it. Wholly disproportionate to the chair, itself. Like a little kid sitting in Daddy’s office chair, or stepping into Daddy’s shoes, entirely unable to fill either.

It is the back of the head of a usurper, an unworthy, the half-brother prince who has overthrown his half-sibling, the rightful king.

The anti-Christ exposes himself for what he is in this picture. More than that, he exposes to us that he knows what he is - malignant, small, inadequate, insecure, good-for-nothing, confused, over his head, ill-intentioned.

What a fascinating portrait of the soul of a man!

The Twitter account of Barack Obama”

I have wondered if he actually Twitters and this just makes me think that others wonder too.

A photo captioned "This seat's taken" was posted featuring a rear view of Obama...

That caption would be more appropriate for this photo showing a rear view of Obama...
