Unless Meat Loaf said something nasty about Obama, I can't stop liking him. [View all]

Look, we all have to accept that Obama was never going to get 100% of the vote. Clint Eastwood was off his rocker at the convention, but I can't stop liking him as a person or an actor. Same goes with Meat Loaf. He gave us one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and as far I know he's not an asshole. So unless he said something at the Romney event that disqualifies him as a person, I won't stop liking him or his music over an endorsement.
