Pawlenty drops one-line jabs at Obama in RNC speech - Chicago News and Weather | FOX 32 News

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty took to the stage of the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, spending the first four minutes of his speech knocking President Barack Obama with one-liner jokes.

Pawlenty's attempt at a political roast got a lukewarm reception, but he soon transitioned into speaking about his blue-collar upbringing in South St. Paul before moving to a strong endorsement of Mitt Romney for president, something he's done consistently all summer.
