When I heard him live I thought it was a series of disconnected, confused-sounding ramblings. I have watched and listened a few more times since then seen the reaction, and I think he hit it out of the park.
It was the most memorable speech of the convention, and there were some very good ones. The ridicule of obama as an empty chair with no way to defend his lack of accomplishments and spewing nasty curses will go a long way to cutting him down to human size. And the comments that we own the country, we hire the politicians anj we shouod fire them if they don’t do their jobs hit home.

If you remember Jimmy Stewart’s style of speaking in the movie Harvey, when talking to his invisible rabbit friend, then you will understand the hesitating, rambling, somewhat jumbled form of speech Clint Eastwood was using in his sterling piece of performance art. It was masterful. Clint Eastwood is not a rambling old man. He is an intelligent acting genious using his speaking style for this empty chair role as a way of enunciating all the more his zinger lines because on either side of it was the musings and seemingly miscellaneous meanderings so that you didn’t know where the mutterings were going. That is, until, bang, a killer line comes out of the master’s mouth decimating Obama/Biden bigtime. Clint’s style of speaking made the important lines stand out all the more. Bravo, well done Mr. Eastwood. A star performance.
