Now, I know our President would never say that. That kinda tells me that Clint Eastwood was actually speaking for himself and telling Mr Rmoney to go fuck himself.

On Tuesday, Cheney, serving in his role as president of the Senate, appeared in the chamber for a photo session. A chance meeting with Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, became an argument about Cheney's ties to Halliburton Co., an international energy services corporation, and President Bush's judicial nominees. The exchange ended when Cheney offered some crass advice.

"Go fuck yourself," said the man who is a heartbeat from the presidency.

Mr. Obama telling him to tell Romney that. Wasn't funny either way.

He did not tell the ficticious president to go fuck himself.

He was pretending that the President told himself, and Romney, to go fuck themselves.

I heard explained like this:

Clint Eastwood was trying to make a caricature of Obama, and instead he ended up making a caricature of your typical Republican voter. A babbling, old, incoherent white guy talking to a fictitious black president.

it makes Clintwood look like a low-class asshole, regardless of whom was to fuck himself. And it reflects poorly on the RNC.

Poor Clint, he has absolutely no idea. I suppose it's more merciful that way.

got so "out of control". I am a senior citizen and I admit I do not understand (at least 40%)
of what is going on ... anymore...and sometimes believe that is for the better..and ALSO that I was born in 1945 and will miss some of the things I think I won't be sorry to miss.

Blessing to you all!

in place of the highly intelligent, Harvard graduate--that Clint Eastwood will and would never be.

I didn't appreciate it and I would not have appreciated that kind of sick ridicule of any party toward any President of my country. Nope, not even that complete jackass George Bush.

It was wrong.
