It's not like he's Mel Gibson, snuff film maker and generally useless person. I won't watch anything with Mel Gibson but it hasn't been the same with Clint Eastwood, especially since he started directing.

No need to feel sorry for this great man, who singlehandedly took Romney out of prime time.

He can top even that with a "Clint always puts on a great performance!"

Wonderful. It's fun to snark in DU and the media, but Obama respects his own office too much.

Very classy, but surprises none of us on DU. That is just how President Obama is.
