Newsflash: Obama can't take a joke. But we already knew that. For four long years we've waited, hoped and prayed that some young comic would break free of the politically correct demands of The State and mock Obama the way all presidents and all people in power should be mocked. But for four long years (with a few exceptions) all we've seen instead are cowardly toadies of The State: Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Chris Rock, the cast of "Saturday Night Live"
Since Obama won the presidency, comedy has pretty much gone straight to hell as our Entertainment Overlords morphed into pathetic lapdogs to The State; begging for scraps of attention and affection from Obama, and in the process becoming stale, lazy, dull, predictable, painfully unfunny, and like a needy poodle -- more than a little annoying.

Clint turned “the talking heads” into exploding heads last night. LOL! Rock on Clint!
Overnight, Clint has already established a new cultural trend - “Eastwooding” - where people berate empty chairs.
BTW Andrea Mitchell was really ticked off by this stunt! But what are the public supposed to do with a President who refuses to give interviews, except with Glamour magazine?
Wouldn’t it have been interesting if someone had walked out to the chair, just after CE started speaking and draped an “empty suit” over the chair.
Don’t piss on my back and tell me obamacare is fantastic.
The thing I didn’t like about the empty chair was that you couldn’t meaningfully mock the jug ears.
You should see the NY Daily News Headline. LOL They are so insulted!!!!! Libtards.
Yeah, but since Bush was a white republican, all criticism is allowed.
A melanin-enhanced Marxist is NOT allowed to be criticized.
WE own this country, and when someone doesn't do the job "we have to let them go."
Yeah, but you knew the jug ears were listening....
Now we know for sure what kind of skin The Won has - thin.
And he doesn’t wear it well, either.
It would have been nice if the chair had been flanked by teleprompters.
But the article makes a very good point; all prior sitting presidents have been mocked. But not Dear Leader. The entertainment complex continues to relentlessly mock Republicans, but 0bama is “hands off.” It’s really pathetic to see how they just become groveling propaganda apparatchiks of the democrat party. I had little respect for them before, but now, watching them crawl on their bellies to lick 0bama’s shoes, it’s disgusting.
Maybe in Clint’s speech last night, the empty chair didn’t really symbolize our president. Maybe it really symbolized his propaganda organs in the media.
Plugs Biden is a comedy gold mine. It must drive the comedy writers nuts that he’s off limits.
Should have spoke beside a suit on a hanger.
After all, he IS an Empty Suit. . .
I have to disagree with that comment. I don't think Stewart or Colbert are on any leash at all. They're just natural born lapdogs.
Anyone notice the admitted foreign national immediately twitted a response after Clints speech?

Who’s stupid enough to call Clint Eastwood a racist? Clint was brilliant...watched the video again this morning after seeing it live last night. It just gets better with age.
Clint broke down the barrier of fearing making jokes about Obama in public. And libs are angry because Clint said Biden was the intellect of the democrat party...LOL!!!
Clint required no teleprompter...just an empty chair...great job!
Yes, and the response was lame.
Hey! they're the ones who said Biteme was a foreign policy GENIUS!
I thought idiot boy said he wasn’t going to watch the RNC.
spike lee did a couple of years ago because Eastwood made a film of history and Spike Lee did not liek it that no blacks were there to which Eastwood said”there were no blacks in this battle so why shoudl I put them there when it is not accurate” or words to that affect.
Bit like the world trade center flag rasing by 3 firemen and they wanted a black and Hispanic on the picture even though it was not or
how about the empire states building where they now have a photo showing all women or different minorties sitting there having lunch on a peice of iron while bulding the empire states building
PC run amock and we have so many who stay silent and go along with it, even calling homosexuals now gay, they’re not gay they’re homosexuals, gay is to be happy but we have so many letting the left dictate the message and words, illegal, nope undocumentated for some ARF
“they’re the ones who said Biteme was a foreign policy GENIUS!”
We’ll see what a genius he is during the debates.
Here’s an interesting thought for you: If Mr. Obama had remained asleep for the past four years, the country would be in much better shape.
Obama has made a mockery of our national heritage, slandered the free market system and the moral conscience of the American people, and threatens to render vain the ultimate sacrifice of thousands upon thousands of patriots who died for the same freedom he seeks to take away.
Eastwood’s little bit of ridicule is appropriate for what Obama is trying to do to this country, and it is long overdue. It is too bad the lapdog MSM is too dense or corrupt to understand that. However, a very large swath of America gets it all too well, much to the displeasure of the MSM which increasingly has the appearance of opinions and self-righteous displays that suggest pervasive ideological in-breeding.

"This seat is on hold."
The toothpaste is out of the tube and no way in hell can MSM get it back in...
We’ve already seen the foreign policy. By some miracle global war hasn’t broken out yet.
The fem Dems are in an uproar, good. They are not focusing on Romney but rather on an actor. Beautiful.
For the sake of our country, I hope you are right.
Clint is running a fake so the media will follow him...The media will bird dog anyone who bonks Obama. If just 20 people had the balls to do what Clint did, the media heads would explode...

An empty chair beats a teleprompter any day...
never seen those films but will try to now, thankyou
Could a, should a, would a. The point is that BO is never in his chair or in the Oval Office. The chair is always empty. Was hoping Trump would walk out and say “Barack Obama, You are Fired”.
“The fem dems are in an uproar, good. They are not focusing on Romney but rather on an actor. Beautiful.”
Yeah. Eastwood is shrewd, and honest and real, effortlessly. Oh, and all during the convention, the purported “Republican war on women” was given the lie with example after example of what a REAL “feminist” looks like.
Nobody ever defended anything successfully,
there is only
Attack!! and Attack!! and Attack!!”
- General George S. Patton
Barry should be nice to Mr. Eastwood. Does Barry know Clint is part owner of Pebble Beach Golf Course? Since Barry will be looking for work after November 6th, maybe Clint could get him a job as a caddy. He’ll be out on a golf course everyday and making money from tips. Not bad work.
That's why Rush has begun calling her Angrea Mitchell.
Very good points and well stated.
