Mr. Eastwood, that was Fucking Pathetic.

And here are few things you should remember:

1. It's President Obama, even if you are going to disrespect the man, if you love your country, you should respect the Office.

2. Obama would never tell you to shut up or tell another politician to "Go Fuck Themselves" as you implied. No, that's something the Republican Vice President Dick Cheney said.

Do us all a favor and stick to your day job.

Thanks.

That was so painful I cannot believe it. Does Eastwood have Alzheimers? That was the worst part of a very bad gig.

it was a sad, political, diatribe, disconnected from any reality other than that which we've seen on display from the G.O.P circus these past several months.

something must be wrong with him really, seriously. He never stepped out like this before and never such buffonery. Younger CE would have gone out and dragged older CE out off the stage. He left us more confused than he was.

Clint Eastwood was never known for his oratory abilities.

Really, was there ever a movie where he had a long monologue? He even made reference to his lack of verbosity at an Awards ceremony.

Wait till you are 82 if you even make it...

His politics? He was dumped out there for an obvious political show... that failed miserably....

by all accounts of those who were watching.. like David Axelrod Tweeted "WHAT WAS THAT?"

On one site they were discussing Eastwood's speech and someone posted this..
