Sarah Palin Slams 'Obama's Empty Chair Style Of Leadership' On Heels Of Clint Eastwood Speech

Sarah Palin Targets Obama With 'Empty Chair' Attack
|

On the heels of Clint Eastwood's bizarre speech at the Republican National Convention, Sarah Palin took to Twitter and said, "America's kids are going to be stuck paying for Obama's Empty Chair Style of Leadership."

The former Alaska governor included a photo of an empty child's high chair in her message.

Eastwood captured headlines with his remarks in Tampa last week when he carried out a conversation with an empty chair intended to represent President Barack Obama.

In an apparent response to Eastwood's speech, the Obama campaign tweeted a photo of the president in his Cabinet Room chair with the message: "this seat's taken."
