     Normally,   I wouldn't be concerned who a Professional Sports Owner endorses for public office.   In the case of Dan Rooney though,    I'm very concerned.   

      Dan  Rooney,  like his father,  the late Art Rooney,  is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.      The Rooney family and the Steelers in general,   are extremely popular in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania.      Dan Rooney is the last person in Western Pennsylvania that I wanted to see endorse Barack Hussein Obama.      Hopefully,   the damage that Rooney caused won't offset Obama's foot in the mouth comments from the other day.
