"Who Let The Dogs Out?" Mitt Romney Wants To Know

(CBS)
From CBS News' Scott Conroy:

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- Mitt Romney was greeted warmly by a largely African-American crowd at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Parade in Jacksonville. He shook hands with several dozen parade-goers and even hugged a few of them.

Only one woman was noticeably annoyed by the former Massachusetts' governor's presence.

"Mitt Romney, go home!" she yelled. "You're delaying the parade."

As he posed for a picture with a group of young people, the typically old-fashioned Romney was relaxed enough to quote from a popular hit single from a few years back.

"Who let the dogs out?" he called out, as he stood there beaming in his shirt and tie. "Who! Who!"

You do know that MLK was NOT running for any political office, right?

If the pulpit is no place for a campaign (Katrina234) then I guess MLK didn''t deserve to be in the public sphere either.

This is sad. Mr. Romney''s pandering (he must think all blacks are rap fans) is sad, bot oh so typical for him. I''m surprised he didn''t offer billions to them like he did in Michigan! Visit www.ExposeMittRomney.com for the truth!

Romney''s father, George was a very vocal supporter of MLK and did a lot to help end segregation in the 1960s. He marched at least 4 times in different states and spoke at rallies for the rights of African Americans. He''s a good man and so is Mitt.

Go Mitt Go!
