Eastwood: Obama acts like he killed bin Laden
By KEVIN ROBILLARD | 9/12/12 2:49 PM EDT
Clint Eastwood thinks that President Obama has taken too much credit for Osama bin Ladens death, he recently said in an interview with Esquire.
"There are two kinds of people in this world," Eastwood told the mag a month before his empty chair speech at the Republican National Convention. "'I' people and 'we' people. I've always tried to be a 'we' person. I think that our president is an 'I' person. He speaks as though he killed Osama bin Laden himself."
Eastwood, a legendary actor and director who was once the mayor of Carmel, Calif., suggested the president was in love with power.
"Can you imagine being him, surrounded by people all the time? Eastwood said. I'd hate it. But he seems to like it. He seems to like what I'd hate, all the trappings of power. He said that if he failed in his first term he wouldn't seek a second. Well, here he is unemployment's still up around 8 percent and he's doing anything he possibly can to keep power. There's no way he's going to give it up."

Thank God there is someone out there who will openly ridicule that Marxist tool president of ours.
Well, he was in the same room with the people who issued the order to the people who actually killed Osama, so that’s like, the same, right? Just like voting “present” or phoning it in from the golf course.
And for those liberal kooks saying Obama doesn’t favor Islam, he killed Bin Laden.....Obama didn’t kill Osama, the Seals did. The only reason Barry gave the order is because he knew the truth would get out if he refused, not to mention he could get a ton of good publicity when he was dogged by nothing but failure. Political self preservation. Obama’s the one that helped the Muslim Brotherhood ascend to power, he welcomed in the Arab Spring, he apologized to Egypt the day radical islam killed Americans, his DOJ labeled “liberty lovers”, not radical islam, as the greatest terrorist threat in a country predicated upon freedom, and he voiced support for a mosque being built at ground zero on the ashes of our greatest tragedy. Obama clearly favors Islam!
An EMPTY CHAIR says what?
,,,, Clint ,,,, the gift that keeps on giving . Since his presentation at the RNC ,,, Clint has been in the news every day and has the libs panties in a real twist . I am having a REAL good time with all this .
Eastwood: Obama acts like he killed bin LadenYou mean to say that he didn't?
Obama likes to claim credit for getting Osama. Why hasn’t he tried Khalid Sheikh Mohammed yet?
Obama does not know it yet, but he is actually running against Clint Eastwood
LOL!!! I agree .. I think we should have another “empty chair” day ..????
Actually, the military commander of the mission is usually the one who gives the actual order for a “go” of a mission.
The CiC gives the go only for the op - but the military person is the one who decides who goes and when.
The fact that the CiC was in the room is irrelevant. He had already given his approval for the mission - and he didn’t even need to be there. IT WAS A POLITICAL STUNT!!!
Funny, Obama is the “community organizer” who “all about me,” and Eastwood is the American “rugged individualist” and is all about”we.”
