Eastwood Comes Out Shooting: ‘Biden Is the Intellect of the Democratic Party’

Clint Eastwood Delivers Invisible Obama Speech at Republican National Convention

Eastwood in "Gran Torino."

Clint Eastwood. Hollywood legend.  Just told Barrack Hussein Obama to “make his day,” along with thousands of Conservatives, Libertarians and Republicans in Tampa at the Republican National Convention.

In a moment that will be remembered for conventions to come, the gunslinger came out shooting.   A steady aim at the Administration and the policies of the last four years. The Eastwood speech was steady and grit filled.

The convention swelled to a fever-pitch as the mega-tron screen went black and a massive silhouette of the iconic cowboy appeared behind a western canyon.

Eastwood began by assuring the crowd that there were conservatives in Hollywood.  It’s just that ”they don’t go around hotdogging it.”

The Cowboy then reminisced about the current president’s election: “I remember three and a half years ago when Mr. Obama won the election…people were lighting candles…Oprah was crying, I was even crying.”

But Eastwood also got serious. “I haven’t cried that hard since I found out there was 23 million unemployed in this country,” he said. “That is something to cry for because that is a disgrace, a national disgrace.”

“I think possibly now it may be time for another person to come along and solve the problem,” he said to cheers.

Eastwood then began holding an interview with empty chair, with an invisible Obama sitting in it.  He ripped the President on Gitmo and Afghanistan.  All while faking that Obama was insulting him.  The best of which was:

“What do you want me to tell Romney? … he can’t do that to himself? you’re absolutely crazy. you’re getting as bad as Biden.  Of course we know Biden is the intellect of the Democratic party.”

But “Dirty Harry” wasn’t done yet.

“I never thought it was a good idea for attorneys to be president anyway. They’re always taught to argue. I think it’s maybe time, what do you think, for a businessman” the cowboy shrugged ”When somebody does not do the job, we‘ve got to let ’em go.”

Eastwood ended in poetic justice.  Chanting along with every attendee in the convention, “Go ahead, make my day.”  The Administration is on notice, do they feel lucky?

      Yeah…you’re pretty much predictable ENCIDIOT/WHACKO/HORSEDANCER/MONICNE. The left is outraged that Eastwood had the stones to mock “Prince Barry” …so what do they attack? His age.

      Nothing new for the left of course…you lefties hate the elderly. This is why Obama took $716 billion from Medicare to pay for Obamacare with no hesitation. Let’s be honest…the oldies will die off and that means less votes for the democrats while the young voter will vote for decades for a democrat who gives him free stuff. That’s how it works right?
      Still dont’ believe me ENCIDIOT?

      Then believe Obama’s advisor Ezekeil “Zeke” Emanuel (brother of Rahm) on the distribution of health services to the elderly:

      “Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years.”

      You lefties hate the elderly you always target them first for disposal in your morally bankrupt ideology. So it’s really no surprise that you lefties instinctively…reflexively..by conditioning …attack Eastwood’s age immediately.

      Eastwood did the unthinkable in the eyes of the fawning, lapdog hollywood culture that scrambles for scraps of attention and affection from Obama…he dared to speak the truth about Obama and used the same tool you lefties use..ridicule. You ha

      There you go again.

      Ryan already was called out for the same lies, your repeating them will not change falsehoods to truths. Obama moves 716 Billion from moneys paid to providers, to pay for closing of the donut hole. While Ryan’s budget steals the same amount, not to sure up another area of medicare, but instead to fund additional tax cuts for the wealthy.

      Why do you insist in repeating the debunked lies of Ryan. Its a proven lie, Fox News called Ryan out for his lies. Do you have no regard for the truth?

      From Factcheck.org

      Taking Money from Medicare?

      Ryan continued the campaign’s false line of attack that Obama had “funneled” money out of Medicare to pay for the federal health care law “at the expense of the elderly.” But that’s contradicted by Medicare’s chief actuary, in a statement at the end of the most recent report of the system’s trustees (our emphasis added):

      Medicare Actuary, April 23, 2012: [Obama's] Affordable Care Act makes important changes to the Medicare program and substantially improves its financial outlook …

      Medicare’s money isn’t being taken away. The Affordable Care Act calls for slowing the growth in spending, a move that — if successful — would keep the hospital insurance trust fund solvent for longer than if the reductions didn’t happen.

      I asked you to tell me how that $716 billion was allocated, how it was meant to be spent. You chose to give me distractions and Obama campaign lines instead. Let me clarify for you idiot..YOU DIDNT” TELL ME HOW THE $716 BILLION WAS SLATED TO BE SPENT. The entire $716 billion was not for “providers” was it champ? But that‘s the lie you want to perpetuate isn’t it?

      Giving me out of context quotes without showing me the proposed allocation of the $716 billion doesn’t answer what I asked of you does it sport? Can I make that any clearer dullard?

      Show me where the entire $716 billion was allocated to “pay providers”. You can’t can you clownshoes? So you recite obama rote hoping that should suffice? Idiot…

      $415 billion of it was slated to pay for medicare reimbursement to doctors and hospitals. Did you forget that part champ? So what do doctors do when they’re not getting paid for their services to medicare patients? They stop taking medicare patients. Tell me how doctors not taking medicare patients helps the medicare patient again champ?

All he did was ask “how was the $716 billion allocated to be spent”…and it all just fell apart for you when he added that $415 billion of it was allocated for medicare reimbursements to doctors and hospitals. So when doctors and hospitals don’t get paid for their services to medicare patients what do these doctors and hospitals do ENCIDIOT? I know tiger..I know…you don’t want to say it..I’ll say it for you..“they stop taking medicare patients” don’t they champ? And how is this beneficial to medicare patients again ENCIDIOT?

      Poor, poor AvengerK, spew the lies beck has tea bagged into your head. Yeas there are cuts to moneys providers can charge. Yet, the moneys are shuffled around and still go to fund healthcare concerns. Of course you need to throw up this smoke and mirror defense, because, unlike the AHA, Ryan steals from medicare to fund tax breaks. While Obama is setting priorities as to what the costs of healthcare should be, Ryan is steal from granny to give Mr. Burns additional tax breaks.

      ENCIDIOT..I’m glad you brought up the AHA (American Hospital Assoc)..read: powerful union- because they added a very interesting part of Obamacare into the the unwieldly and expensive mess of a law.

      Section 6001 of Obamacare bans new physician-owned hospitals from being built, and stops existing ones from getting bigger. This was a favor to the AHA which would prefer that it’s member hospitals operate without competition from any hospitals owned by doctors. Can I say “Chicago” at this point ENCIDIOT with you going into tears like Chrissie Tingles Matthews? We’re adults right? Heck let’s just say “reckeless, corrupt and incompetent” instead ok?

      Wow ENCIDIOT..what a great idea…take away patient choice AND keep thousands of construction workers from new projects. Now that’s that three letter word your “grin with a body behind it” (hat tip Clint Eastwood) Joe Biden was talking about J-O-B-S.

      I know why you bring up Beck all the time ENCIDIOT…it‘s because you’re conditioned to groupthink as a leftist and you believe that everyone must be like you and your cohorts..a collective.

      I know ENCIDIOT..you‘re very frustrated right now because you didn’t even know about that little AHA gem did you champ? How can this be ENCIDIOT? How does someone you were taught was lesser than you keep getting the better of you? This isnt’ what your liberal professors said it was like right? I know diddums..it hurts doesn’t it?

      Physician owned hospitals are for profit scams that bilk medicare and medicaid of millions of dollars. The non-profit model for hospital has been shown to keep costs down. The for-profit healthcare model is a failure that has led to fraud and waste. Of course, some one who believes the lies of Ryan can not think on anything more than the most primitive level. Nor have you addressed my question as to where does the money go in the Ryan budget. Justify the tax breaks for the wealthy that Ryan pays for with the 716 Billion he steals from medicare, or justify the voucher program, not tied to a COLA regime, so within a decade, the vouchers will be worthless, forcing seniors to pay thousands out of pocket for insurance.

      ENCINOM,

      Obama took 716 billion off of medicare’s books. Money that is supposed to go to the rightful recipients. I don’t care how you try to justify stealing 716 billion he stole it to allocate it elsewhere. Now where is else where? Else where is Obamacare. Obama used a very similar accounting trick to the one that Clinton used to “balance” his budget. But Obama took the money off of medicare’s books put it towards Obamacare, (this is where he did like slick Willy) he double counted the money to give the appearance of Obamacare being deficit neutral (that’s the real lie here, that bastard of a bill is a money sink and will end up costing 10 times more than what the WH says it will “save”) , then proceeded to lie to seniors and tell them that he never took the money :nothing to see here folks, move along!“ The real sad part is the sheer number of rabid lap dogs willing to lick Obamas rear and spread HIS LIES around just to get a chance at the meager scraps he tosses on the floor to the ”little people”. And sadly Encinodope, you are standing there in line wagging your tail just salivating at the chance to kiss his ***. You sad pathetic misguided little weasel.

      With that I’m done dealing with your ignorance, mistruths, and obvious inability to think critically for yourself.

It’s the one thing he DOES know how to do, but campaigning oesn’t fix economies.
      Neither does lying, nor saying you will do something, and never do it. Zero makes ALL the wrong decisions (that is, IF, he is the one making them) and has never run a busines, so he, nor his advisors, have never learned how to fix the kind of problem we are facing.
      A man with no backbone will never make it very far on personality, alone.
      God bless Mr. Eastwood with a long life. He is one of the last of a dying breed. It disgusts me to see the kind of men we have trying to act like men in Hollyweird.

      Oh look…WHACKO took time out from his imaginary “busy” retirement to post more bait and drive-by insults..all day…everyday. Boy that’s some “busy” retirement you have there “old timer”.

      Here’s the problem for you champ..I know you’re trying to play “gotcha” again with your stinky bait but conservatives don’t fall into the “groupthink” mindset you lefties walk lockstep in.
      Cheney for instance support‘s his homosexual daughter’s marriage…yet he‘s been the left’s bane for over a decade while being a reliable mouthpiece for conservatives.

      See…let’s be honest here WHACKO/HORSEDANCER/MONICNE….you like to foment hate and division. That’s the lefty game. Make people jealous or upset about something..anything..just get them agitated. You think you‘re highlighting hyprocrisy but you’re not..because as I illustrated to you..conservatives and libertarians can take different positions on a specific concern yet still meet common ground on the big issues…they’re not expelled or excommunicated for not adhering to groupthink..unlike what occurs among you lefties.
      Get better bait you idiot.

    Clint Eastwood’s best role was as Walt Kowalski, a true American. Tough, perhaps a bit bigoted, stubborn, hard-working, hesitant but always stepping up when duty, honor, friendship or your country call. Love Gran Torino.

      Yep, Rowdy Yates rocked it.
      One of the few, last, great legends…if not, THE last…what a sweetheart !
      An American Sweetheart.

      Clint gets it,
      he understands America’s reason for being.
      He makes all the other shoot-from-the-hip
      actors, entertainers & Hollywood slime
      look so small, misguided, shallow and self-righteous-
      just like the current drag in the White House.

      Really, America,
      with whom do you agree-
      a quiet, thoughtful, mindful man like Eastwood
      or whining, obnoxious hypocrites like Spike Lee, Spielberg & Springsteen ?

      This election is all about decency,
      getting back-to-basics, getting back to work,
      getting ALL the riff-raff out of power
      & getting OUR country back on track.

      In his sweet, tender-hearted way,
      Eastwood is clearly reminding us
      that we must fight like hell to MAKE that happen !

      Ambrosia, truer words were never spoken. Remember, though, that Clint did say there are many more conservatives out there in “Hollyweird” than we know. Maybe more will step forward, but maybe not. I appreciated his boldness, getting up there to speak his mind. He, and a few other actors, are not afraid of the crazy leftist wrath. The leftist idiots couldn’t see what Eastwood was actually doing. He was playing them for fools, and they couldn’t see it. That was great.

God bless him though, I would rather watch him then ANY of these other guys. Did you watch Mr. Beck today? He was great, but my wife and I both looked at each other crazy when he basically started to echo Ron Pauls foreign policy! WHAT? It is CRAZY! The two Men who‘s opinion I ADMIRE more than anyone else’s is Ron Paul and Glenn Beck. The sky must have fallen today because I SWEAR Mr. Beck sounded JUST LIKE RON PAUL. CRAZY! Anyway, back to topic, I think Clint Eastwood has more character than all those other actors on stage. Just my humble opinion.

I too was very uncomfortable with him up there. I couldn’t figure out if he was talking without his notes, couldn’t read his prepared speech or was just talking off the cuff. He did look a bit more comfortable at the end but I was expecting so much more. I felt bad for him…
