The Romney campaign bus appeared to be circling and honking at the location of a campaign speech to be given by President Obama during a visit to Cleveland, Ohio today, according to a tweet by CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller.

President Obama is set to address the event at 1:45 p.m. ET, while Gov. Mitt Romney is scheduled to address workers and supporters at his own campaign event at a factory in Cincinnati, Ohio just five minutes later, at 1:50 p.m. ET.
This isn’t the first kerfuffle between the two camps, however. In Massachusetts last month, Romney supporters greeted Obama senior adviser David Axelrod at a campaign event by shouting and blowing bubbles at those in attendance.
