Transcript: my only Fox post but this is a classic Clint Eastwood talking to a chair
EASTWOOD: Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you
very much. Save a little for Mitt.
(APPLAUSE)
I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, what's a
movie tradesman doing out here? You know they are all left
wingers out there, left of Lenin. At least that is what people
think. That is not really the case. There are a lot of
conservative people, a lot of moderate people, Republicans,
Democrats, in Hollywood. It is just that the conservative
people by the nature of the word itself play closer to the vest.
They do not go around hot dogging it.
(APPLAUSE)
So -- but they are there, believe me, they are there. I
just think, in fact, some of them around town, I saw John Voigt,
a lot of people around.
(APPLAUSE)
John's here, an academy award winner. A terrific guy.
These people are all like-minded, like all of us.
So I -- so I've got Mr. Obama sitting here. And he's -- I
was going to ask him a couple of questions. But -- you know
about -- I remember three and a half years ago, when Mr. Obama
won the election. And though I was not a big supporter, I was
watching that night when he was having that thing and they were
talking about hope and change and they were talking about, yes
we can, and it was dark outdoors, and it was nice, and people
were lighting candles.
They were saying, I just thought, this was great.
Everybody is trying, Oprah was crying.
I was even crying. And then finally -- and I
haven't
cried that hard since I found out that there is 23 million
unemployed
people in this country.
(APPLAUSE)
Now that is something to cry for because that is a
disgrace, a
national disgrace, and we haven't done enough, obviously -- this
administration hasn't done enough to cure that. Whenever
interest
they have is not strong enough, and I think possibly now it may
be
time for somebody else to come along and solve the problem.
(APPLAUSE)
So, Mr. President, how do you handle promises that you have
made
when you were running for election, and how do you handle them?
I mean, what do you say to people? Do you just -- you know
-- I
know -- people were wondering -- you don't -- handle that OK.
Well, I
know even people in your own party were very disappointed when
you
didn't close Gitmo. And I thought, well closing Gitmo -- why
close
that, we spent so much money on it. But, I thought maybe as an
excuse
-- what do you mean shut up?
