He went out and did what actors do sometimes, he did a little improv, said Stuart Stevens, Romneys chief strategist. If someone wants to say this wasn’t Clint Eastwood’s greatest performance, have at it…Some people didnt like ‘Dirty Harry,’ some people didnt like ‘Gran Torino,’ thats okay.

Eastwood did not tell convention officials he would use a chair until moments before he took the stage, an adviser said, nor did they know until after his speech began that he would use the chair as an invisible Obama. Eastwood asked a stage hand to get him a chair, and the stage hand assumed he was going to use it to sit on.
