Ron Howard’s Call For Obama With Andy Griffith And Henry Winkler
Huffington Post

Ron Howard is the latest star to voice his support for Obama, and he did it alongside his old costars Andy Griffith and Henry Winkler in a video for Funny or Die. Watch him strip down, trim his nose hair and don an Opie wig for a black and white call to action before fast-forwarding to “Happy Days.”

RIP Andy and Goober. You were both well loved.
Those pro-Obama ads with Howard, Winkler and Griffith as they tried to reprise their "Andy Griffith" and "Happy Days" roles, were the saddest I'd ever seen.

Actually he had great timing.
Out just before the Death Panels cranked up.
I'm sure he had excellent care to the finish.
Wow, and he didn’t even get a chance to experience Obamatax that he was in love with.
But seriously, I loved Mayberry.
One of my all-time favorite shows and character (Andy). Guess that just leaves Opie, Gomer and Thelma Lou.RIP Andy....you left us some wonderful memories. :(
If I’m not mistaken I think Andy said sometimes afterwards that that was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made. I stand corrected if not so.
A shill for Obamacare.
I anm sure his absentee ballot has already been submitted for Obama.
He lost me when he voiced his support for the John Edwards Senate campaign. IIRC, he said that was the biggest mistake he ever made.
Regrettably, he did not learn from that mistake, and continued to support liberal causes.
Roast in Hell, Andy.
Rather than the abysmally wrongheaded endorsements of his elder years, I’ll choose to remember the sustained magnificence of the legendary Andy Griffith Show.
Nothing less than one of the true pinnacles of American television history.
“But seriously, I loved Mayberry.”
You need to watch the movie “No Time For Sergeants.” Way better than Mayberry!
