*Well, now this is interesting, but not surprising ’cause, fault him or not, he’s that kinda guy.
Forever taking the high road, President Obama – in an interview with USA TODAY aboard Air Force One on his way to campaign rallies in Iowa Saturday – said he’s a “huge” Clint Eastwood fan, not offended by the actor/director skit mocking him Thursday night.
“He is a great actor, and an even better director,” the president said. “I think the last few movies that he’s made have been terrific.”
However, Obama seemed less eager to review Eastwood’s latest performance, on stage at the Republican National Convention Thursday. The 82-year-old Hollywood icon introduced Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney with a rambling 12-minute improvisation that included a rude “interview” with an empty chair purportedly occupied by an invisible Obama.
Was he offended?
“One thing about being president or running for president — if you’re easily offended, you should probably choose another profession.” Obama said with a smile. He said there would be no effort to counter with a similar stunt at the Democratic National Convention, which opens in Charlotte Tuesday.
“I think we’ll be playing this pretty straight,” he said.

If somehow you missed the Eastwood skit, watch:
Yo…..our POTUS is a “chess playin” muthaFKkaaaah!!! To “defuse” these weak azzes with a “shoulder brush off”/”shyt ain’t fazed meh” move?, IMO?, is fkn…..brilliant!!!!! They d’on did it aaaaaaall & STILL cain’t figure out HOW to “fk with his head”!! Now Obie?, just “crush dat azz” in these debates & sit that bytch down & say…..”go back home & work for someone else. You were NEVVA meant or qualified, to operate the oval office. It’s the KING, BEEEEEEAAATCH!!!!! (well, maybe not the last part, at least ….not “out loud”!) Wink!
Who is “they”
I love our president, but dam, does he always have to be soo polite.
I feel you, lady!!! But TRUST!!!, his “politeness”?, is fkn with THEM …bigtiiiiiiiiime!!! He won’t give them the luxury of “finding/giving them” an….achilles heel, to exploit. “I” for one don’t think he’s being “polite”, as much as refusing to paint him, in a….”typical color”. The MINUTE he responds like they want him to?, they will have justification for those who “want” him to be a ….”typical Black man”, though all he would be doing?, is responding to BS, like..”ANY” one would. They whist wouldn’t ….”paint it that way”, diiiiiiiiiiig?
Sorry….”they “just” wouldn’t …”paint it that way”!
First of all President Obama has TOO much class to even dignify Clint Eastwood’s portayal of him in an empty chair. As a matter of fact, after watching the RNC, the Democrats don’t even need a convention, however, so many LIES were told by the Republicana that a convention is basically needed to right the wrongs and to show the Republican party how a real dignified Convention should be run. SHOW EM PRESIDENT OBAMA…WIN IT AGAIN!
