Eastwooding! Clint's 'Invisible Obama' Routine Inspires Meme

"Clint Eastwood Talks to Empty Chair." That might just be the biggest headline to come out of the final night of the Republican National Convention.

Eastwood's ten-minute conversation with an "invisible Obama" had social media buzzing and meme generators working overtime.

Despite rousing speeches from Florida senator Marco Rubio and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook could not stop talking about Eastwood's exchange with the chair.

The speech -- or stand-up sketch? -- even inspired a Twitter account with the handle @InvisibleObama. Within an hour of its creation, the account had more than 20,000 followers.

Someone should tell Marco Rubio he's standing on my foot right now.— Invisible Obama (@InvisibleObama) August 31, 2012

When Mitt Romney says "Mr. Chairman", do you think he's referring to me?— Invisible Obama (@InvisibleObama) August 31, 2012
