You know that wooden chair Clint Eastwood was talking to during tonight's speech at the Republican National Convention? It already has its own Twitter account. At least two actually.
For those who might have missed it (but expect to hear plenty about it during upcoming RNC post-mortems), the iconic action actor spent part of his moment in the convention spotlight chatting (transcript) with an empty chair that was supposed to represent President Obama. And if presidents can have their own Twitter accounts, why can't chairs that are standing in as presidents?
Invisible Obama (bio: Stage left of Clint Eastwood) sent out its first Tweet at about 6:20 p.m. PT. It's been busy tweeting since: "The GOP built me." "When Mitt Romney says 'Mr. Chairman', do you think he's referring to me?"

I miss Zell Miller, it is a real shame that Democrats have become so intolerant of those ideas aren't hard left that they have no room for moderates and conservatives.

You do realize that there is FAR more diversity of opinion in the Democratic Party than in the Republcan?

There are still dozens of Blue Dog Democratic Senators and Representatives in Congress, while the Republican Party is busy purging anyone that is to the left of Reagan. Hell, Reagan today would be derided as a liberal by today's Tea Party Republicans.

By Obama's own admission, he stated that if he couldn't fix the economy in 3 years he didn't deserve another term.

I doubt we'll be hearing him reprise this during the DNC in Charlotte this week.


Edit: It's amazing to see how dark his hair was then and what the presidency does to a guy. Happened to Clinton and Bush pretty quickly too IIRC.

If you were looking to hire a leader for your business and a guy with Obama's 2008 resume applied, would you hire him? Hell no you wouldn't. But many Americans did.

See how easy that was.

Did you vote fore Obama? How many jobs did he create? How many businesses did he run? If you want to say that Obama doesn't have good leadership skills, fine. But a community organizer doesn't neccessarily make a good POTUS.

Did you vote fore McCain? How many jobs did he create? How many businesses did he run? If you want to say that Obama doesn't have good leadership skills, fine. But a good businessman doesn't neccessarily make a good POTUS.

That sounds clever, but really doesn't hold up to scrutiny. When you drive to work, do you look for the traffic jam? Do you intentionally drive the long way?

Life is more complicated than a Chinese fortune cookie.
