He accepts and invite from Romney and then speaks to the crowd about the working class - I definite (D) issue and never endorses the guy who ships jobs over seas! Hell, he never even says his name! I think that took balls! He most likely even took a speaking fee that took $ out of the Romney campaign.

So Obama endorses the House Republicans? jeff47 Sep 2012 #121

Why would people waste time watching HappyMe Sep 2012 #42

I don't see anything in his speech that in any way endorses Romney. Edweird Sep 2012 #28

Are you paying attention to the facts in this thread? FrodosPet Sep 2012 #82

If Mittens were President, then I could see it as a "raising awareness" TwilightGardener Sep 2012 #93

Rowe was speaking liberal principles to a Republican crowd Sugarcoated Sep 2012 #95
