They mention Bob & Clint at 2:20 or so for anyone who doesn't feel like sitting thru 27:32 of bullshit. And the bastards don't clap for Bob or Clint, but they clap for Nancy Pelosi, so don't worry. I wish they would've showed up and told them to shove the award. LONG LIVE B.D. & C.E.!!!

Obama thinks he can just call on anyone, like Bob and Clint would just be begging to attend, WHY the hell would Bob Dylan attend any form of political anything. Hello!! wake the hell up obama he wrote for three decades about how he hated politicians and how they are all liars. Have you ever heard a Dylan Song?

@MerkinMuffly , well thank you for the insight, however all things do not move and breath frivtion and bigotry.

The early American Indians don't go around seeking who they can destory. Many need to get a life, and role with all the punches we've all had to indure. What about the holocust?

[RuRedy4MuZak]

Well He is more interested to alude to the "Beer and Big Shrimp", He's full of! he get's the award by his pomp and indignity, and is a shame to the feature of the occasion!

Yes, thank you Bob and Clint.

"Man he is full of hot air"!

@MerkinMuffly Please, i agree with the Dylan part but Client is a big time Republican who would have jumped the moon to get to the white house if a Republican would have gave him the award...talking about a movie from the 70's...please

people are just dumb. and they cannot be any dumber. Obama is clearly working for the banks. He is working against the working people in favor of wall street. he is not alone, most of the past presidents have too. Dont vote if you dont know what is going on.

[MerkinMuffly]

For all the racists on here, you realize Dylan was involved in the Freedom Rides in the south to protest the treatment of blacks in the south? Do the songs, "Oxford Town" and "Only a Pawn in Their Game" ring a bell? Do you also realize that Clint Eastwood was in the Eiger Sanction, a movie where he had sex with a black woman?

Bob Dylan and Clint Eastwood are not suck-ups. They are artists. They're not somebody's lapdog. They are two incredibly, unbelievably talented men who couldn't give a rat's ass about what somebody from the establishment thinks about them.

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS CANT GIVE BOB AND CINT JUST A FUCKING HAND CLAP? I WOULD PUT A BOMB THERE AND BLOW EVERY SINGLE OF YOU COCSUCKERS. F.B.I PLEASE DON DISTURB ME,I DNTHVE THE B. WORD :)

@poeticreject actually Bob dylan did accept an award from President Obama, it was all over the papers because he just walked on stage accepted his award, and hop'd off without saying anything.
