Mitt Romney Speech

[PurplePride92]

Good stuff here. Even Obama laughed. I think this was in between the cognac and Cuban cigars.

Very funny!

[Michael Corleone]

I watched both Romney and Obama do their thing live. Both were funny but whoever wrote Romney's jokes deserves a bonus. My favorite was, not an exact quote, "Seasame St. wanted me to mention that tonight's banquet is being brought to you by the letter O and the number 16 trillion" or something like that.

Love it! What a great country when you can make fun of the President with him sitting 3 feet from you.

 

"The letter O and the number 16 trillion." Very nice.

[Randy Parker]

The President's remarks are brought to you by the letter O & the number 16 trillion. :lol:

 

I always enjoy this event. Do you have Obama's remarks?

Good stuff!

67th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner | C-SPAN

 

Entire evening. Go to the 20 minute mark to hear the President.

 

You also see some other lines that Gov Romney had. He talked about how a day on the trail includes many wardrobe changes. He said he was glad he could be at this speech so he and his wife could dress like they do around the house.

[Clyde]

Great line by the President about Chris Matthews.

[Clyde]

Is that Katie Couric right next to the podium?

[Clyde]

Great line about Babe Ruth not building that.

[Randy Parker]

Is that Katie Couric right next to the podium?

 

Yes.

 

I haven't watched Obama's remarks yet, but who is the guy over Romney's right shoulder? He looks really familiar but I can't put a name with the face.

 

Also, this is different from the Correspondent's thing, right? I don't remember which one it was, but when Obama & McCain did this in 2008, both of them were very funny. I thought in this one, Obama laughed because he kind of had to. During McCain's remarks a few years ago, it seemed like he was genuinely tickled. McCain had made a reference or two about the Messiah. I'll try to find it.

[Clyde]

Nice lines by the Cardinal as well.

[Clyde]

Yes.

Here's part of what I was talking about, and it was the Alfred E. Smith thing.

 

This one is pretty hilarious to me, for a few reasons:

 

1) Obama seems genuinely humored by some of McCain's remarks.

2) Hilary's fake laugh(s).

3) The old guy above McCain's head, because he doesn't quit eating and repeatedly licks his fingers. Seems like he has to chew 750 times before he can take his next bite.

4) The Chris Matthews/MSNBC lines.

Wow...the Bill Clinton joke about being the person Obama leans on haha!
