But I doubt Obama personally sent the tweet.
Probably a snarky staffer. |

6. It's Pres Obama's twitter account..
|
I really don't think others would be using it in the name of the Pres.
I gotta think he would be watching to see what more he has to expect from these lying punks. |

all other tweets are sent out by his campaign staff. On Obama's Twitter page it says: @BarackObama This account is run by #Obama2012 campaign staff. Tweets from the President are signed -bo. |

11. GOP would like to replace Eastwood's empty chair with an empty suit. But it gets worse ...
|
The empty suit actually contains a black hole that sucks up our money and sends it to the Cayman Islands.

30. back of a chair
|
Just seeing the back of that chair instills confidence that adults are still in charge.
How many ways can one say, "mistake"? Republican convention went off the rails with this one. Is this a taste of what Republican good judgment looks like? What the hell were they thinking? This was the last night of the Republican convention. And we are given this? I love Eastwood. But only managed to feel sorry for him. And to feel sorry for the poor bozo who talked the convention committee into this stunt. |
