Even though I am a registered Republican, I didn't feel
there was a real reason to watch the Republican National Convention since
Romney's nomination would be a fait accompli.
I finally decided to watch some only because I knew Clint Eastwood would
be speaking. I respect Mr. Eastwood for
is acting and directing abilities but I wasn't sure an eighty-two year old
actor would do well under the strain of such an event.
As I watched his performance I thought it kind of lame and
at times thought he was losing his train of thought. There were however two seminal moments during
his oration in which he was spot on.
He declared that President Obama should not be reelected
because he wasn't getting the job done and he stated, "See, I never
thought it was a good idea for attorneys to be president anyway..."
I wholeheartedly concur with both of these sentiments. I now admit, it was a constructive activity
to listen to Mr. Eastwood's talk.
