96. Was it because of his SuperBowl ad?

Aug 2012

Where he, perhaps unintentionally, and indirectly praised Obama by praising the auto bailout. He desperately wanted to assure the Republican Party that he was on board still. And the Republican Party eagerly welcomed him on stage to make up for it, so eager they didn't even care he went on unscripted. LOL. Clint really made their day.
