WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he's a "huge Clint Eastwood fan," even in the aftermath of the actor's rambling "invisible Obama" monologue at the GOP convention.
Obama says in an interview with USA Today released Sunday the Academy Award-winning Eastwood is "a great actor, and an even better director." But Obama was coy when asked if he was offended by the performance.
Find: What is the 'Eastwooding' meme?
Eastwood talked with an imaginary Obama in an empty chair before Mitt Romney's speech at the GOP convention, saying the president has failed to deliver on his promises.
Obama says, quote, "if you're easily offended, you should probably choose another profession."
The president joked on Twitter after Eastwood's appearance, tweeting that "this seat's taken," along with a photo of him in his chair at a Cabinet meeting
If Obama wasn't Black, they would be praising and thanking him.

Oh, Hell to the No!
Class act, Obama! I'm proud of you for rising above all the attacks sent your way. You've made my day, Mr President! Clint, I've liked you since you were Rowdy Yates in the 1950s, and your film work has been great. Gran Torino is one of my favorite films. I defend your freedom of speech but sorry you tried to hurt a good man, OUR President.
And for the record, 'Blacks" did not vote for him because of his skin tone. Yes some people did because they were tire of voting for someone that only spoke to them when it came to election time. There were some whites that did not vote for him because of his skin tone...like maybe YOU
This country was knee deep in debt. You can not turn a country around in the short span of 3 years. It took Bush 8 years to dig a hole for us. Plus the other side main goal was to make him fail at our expense. Stop letting the talking heads spoon feed you. You are one of the reasons that the USA is lagging behind in the world when it comes to education.
You claim to have spoken to some black people... I am calling you a bare faced liar....
