    Eastwood - Bringing Down the House

    By k3vsDad  |  Posted August 30, 2012  |  Farmersburg, Indiana
     

    Mystery  speaker, Clint Eastwood, brought down the house with his comical take  as he addressed an empty chair which was where supposedly President  Barack Obama was sitting.

    The  spoof was spot on. Eastwood showed why he is loved by Americans  everywhere and why he has been a success as an Academy-award-winning  star.

    Offering  to let the President use Air Force One, just as long as he stepped  aside and let a real businessman, Mitt Romney, take over was a masterful  stroke.

    This is a new side to a man known for his dramatic roles. His timing and comedic take was dead on.

    Eastwood  had the conventioneers eating out of his hand as he pointed out elected  officials work for the people and the people are the bosses. Eastwood  got loud cheers and applause when remarking it was time to let Obama go  because he wasn't doing the job.

    More cheers and hoots when Eastwood turned to the chair and said, "Alright, you wanna make my day?"

    Eastwood proved why he is a star tonight.

    From  the Cornfield, a side of Clint Eastwood I have never seen. I remember  watching him as Rowdy Yates on Rawhide...what a trail the man has blazed.
