Eastwood, 82, was the surprise speaker at the convention and the 'Dirty Harry' star used the stage to interrogate Obama as he chatted to an empty chair next to him.
"So I've got Mr Obama sitting here. I was just going to ask him a couple questions. I remember three-and-a-half years ago, Mr Obama won the election. Though I wasn't a big supporter I was watching that night. They were having a thing and they were talking about 'Hope and Change' and 'Yes We Can.'
"It was dark and we were outdoors... People were lighting candles. I thought, 'This is great.' Everyone was crying. Oprah was crying. I was even crying... I haven't cried that hard since I found out that there are 23 million unemployed people in this country. Now that is something to cry for because that is a national disgrace and we haven't done enough obviously," Eastwood said.
In his 15-minute somewhat rambling speech, Eastwood said, "This administration hasn't done enough... I think possibly it may be time for someone else to come along and solve the problem."
Referring to Obama's law degree, Eastwood continued, "I never thought that it was a good idea for attorneys to be president anyway. I think attorneys are always taught to argue and everything else... I think it's maybe time for a businessman. A stellar businessman."
"When somebody does not do the job, you've got to let them go," he added.
When a woman in crowd shouted his iconic dialogue "Make my day!", Eastwood joked: "I don't say that word anymore." He acquiesced and told the crowd: "I'll start it and you finish it: Go ahead... 'Make my day'."
