gee Stan, wish I was old enough to remember Rowdy Yates I pictured Clint as President in more of the Dirty Harry style. Can picture him walking up to Obama and asking "Well, do you feel lucky punk?"

Clint would never stoop to politics at this level; however, I have read some of his opinions on issues: very Libertarian until it comes to national defense.
He is about 80 years old, but his mother is still alive, so longevity is in his genetic makeup. Plus, even at 80, Clint is a tough old dude, and a smart guy, with such a purposeful delivery of motive. If he ran the executive branch of the federal government like he runs his movie sets, very pragmatic, we could at least move in the right direction. |
Maybe Clint shoud run for President.

Some folks think the playing field needs to leveled so that even the least talented and least ambitious can make a good living in America, even if those of who play fair and work hard have to pay for it.
Some of the chronically lazy among us, here in America, feel that they deserve better. Well, in the words of Clint's William Munny, "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it." |
Clint Eastwood is much too cool, and wise enough to know better than advertise any kind of personal political agenda. He is just one of the few older folk out there trying to be optimistic about his country. Maybe he could serve as a good role model for the younger generation. Perseverance and hard work never hurt anybody.

Oh Clint. All the men want to be him and all the ladies want to be with him.(Well maybe not everybody) He would have my vote.

One of my favorites from that era is "The Outlaw Josey Wales." Can you imagine Clint negotiating with "Mahmoud in a Dinner Suit," one on one, as Obama promised to do, and informing him, like Josey did to the bounty hunter, "Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy."
I believe he could get his point across with that trademark snarl of his. Damn that's some powerful stuff.
