President Obama dinged Mitt Romney at a campaign stop in Iowa today for the oft-told story about the old Romney family dog, Seamus, and his journey strapped to the roof of a car during a cross country trip.

In his speech, Obama criticized Romney for his opposition to wind energy in which the governor previously said that “you can’t drive a car with a windmill on it.”

“I don’t know if he’s actually tried that,” Obama said jokingly. “I know he’s had other things on his car.”
