A Twitter spokesperson told Talking Points Memo that the president's tweet -- which read "This seat's taken" and was accompanied with the above shot of a certain big-eared and very visible Democrat in the presidential chair -- was re-tweeted over 50,000 times.
Despite all the cheekiness and some critical response to Eastwood's stunt in the media, the legendary director's reputation remains intact. Even the president himself told reporters this weekend that he was not offended by Eastwood's speech and praised his work.
An old wild west gunman who confuses the audience with his speech is the key element of the republican campaign? If Mitt can score with Dirty Harry, then America is more easily brainwashed than many would have thought.
