Rob Portman goes from Tea Party to NAACP in the same day

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Ideologically speaking, you've got to be impressed. At 8:10 p.m. Saturday, U.S. Sen. Rob Portman Tweeted:

"Great to be in Cleveland at the NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner with President George Forbes." He linked to a photo, too.

Twenty minutes later, the Ohio Republican Tweeted again:

"also caught up w/ Tea Party + grassroots leaders frm NE Ohio today. Passionate convo re the issues facing nation." And he linked to a photo showing him posing with that group.

Not that the two groups are mutually exclusive. Maybe Portman just didn't want either to feel left out from his Twitter feed. But we thought it was worthy of recognition, with perhaps a song in Portman's honor. Anyone know "We Are the World?"
