Clint Eastwood isn't backing away from his "empty chair" speech about President Obama at the Republican National Convention. Not one bit. In fact, in a recent interview, Eastwood told The Carmel Pine Cone that "President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people."
Eastwood continued: "Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know. I may have irritated a lot of the
lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle."
"I had three points I wanted to make,” Eastwood added. “That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who’s not doing a good job.
"It was supposed to be a contrast with all the scripted speeches, because I’m Joe Citizen," Eastwood said. "I’m a movie maker, but I have the same feelings as the average guy out there."
While Eastwood claims that "A lot of people are realizing they had the wool pulled over their eyes by Obama," director Rob Reiner was not impressed by his speech. "I thought he was embarrassing ... and kind of disrespectful," he told TMZ. "I'm a big fan of Clint's, but not doing this." Do you agree with Eastwood ... or Reiner?

+48..... Jeepers Mr. Wilson, he only called him a " Hoax ", why was Clint so prone to Sugarcoating the problem ?
What a JOKE this aging actor has become. He will NEVER GET ANOTHER DOLLAR FROM ME AT THE BOX OFFICE
He and the brown spots on his face need to remember this
Boot him Nov 6th and give America a chance to regain its strength.
Oh yeah, he's not an enemy I'd want. Clint always makes me feel safe, he's also lovable...a chic thing, sorry Texasred...lolz.
The Tea Party, I think, ranks as a hoax.
As you indicated negatively of the Tea Party as a hoax, have thought the same thing about the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) crowd, yet, Nancy Pelosi quickly welcomed them from the onset.
The man is a walking stupid machine, spewing a gaffe a minute.. and the Tea party is a rational grass roots reaction to a extremist left wing president.. but you lefty's have never tolerated other opinions.... why accept that millions will disagree with the liberal collective when you can just smear them.. huh gramps?
