Many Germans in the 1920’s and 1930’s were similarly moved and inspired by the speeches of a dynamic little Austrian with a bad haircut and mustache.......

Agreed. I’m married to an Irish girl and I used to live in Pittsburgh. Ain’t too many “Rooneys” in Pittsburgh who are lifelong Republicans!!!!

He sounds like an “Elsie Hillman” Republican, which around here means a RINO with more money than sense.

Memo to those who “fell for Obama”:

It’s going to be a long, long, long fall.

Just between you and me, I am starting to think that George W. Bush was also a RINO.

Don Rooney is 76 years old and apparently dimming out a bit. If he weren't he would have compared Obama's speaking skills to Reagan, not JFK.

The Steelers are for sale because they hold stakes in casinos, which is contrary to NFL rules. Has nothing to do with Obama.

You're thinking of Wayne Huizenga, who is in the process of selling the Dolphins to Steven Ross, and stated that he wants to complete the sale before Obama raises capital gains taxes.

Ted Bundy and Stalin used their charisma to connect with people, too.

The Obamaconomy is going to hit the NFL and other professional sport real hard.

First, the pampered players are going to get hit with big taxes on their over-inflated salaries. Second, the fans will be staying home because they can’t afford the tickets. And last, those luxury boxes will empty our as businesses cut back.

Enjoy your brave new world, Mr. Rooney.

Yep. Rooney suffers from “ White Guilt”.
I cant watch the Steelers anymore because of Rooney’s support of Obama.
The shame is I love the Black and Gold.

When the Dem’s start nationalizing business’s may I suggest the pittsburgh Steelers as a good starting point.

Wrong! It has a lot to do with Obama. Rooney is being forced by the NFL to buy out his brothers. His brothers and he are very much aware that the Mesiah is going to drastically raise his brothers' Capital Gains taxes. Obama's election means that his brothers will come down in their offer and are anxious to buy before the law changes.
