Tonight was the annual Alfred E. Smith Dinner where the candidates take a humorous break from the campaign trail. But I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised at how funny Romney was as he delivered line after line, mostly about the president. In fact he landed some pretty hard blows on the president, namely one where in using the Sesame Street reference he said that President Obama’s remarks “are brought to you by the letter O and the number 16 Trillion.” Ouch! And there’s a lot more where that came from.
My bet is that even though it was all in good fun, the left is going to hate it and will try and make something out of it. Maybe they’ll put all the jokes the didn’t like in a binder or something.

Excellent! Thanks for posting.
Oh they already are, turned it on MSNBC and Lawrence O Donnell is offended beyond belief. He says it was more of a roast! Mitt is rude :)
Ooohhh! Obama is pissed!!
Perfect job by Mitt.
Funny. Self deprecating. A few jabs. Classy and heartfelt at the end.
Completely nailed it!!
Romney hit a home run ! Hilarious stuff.
Libs hate being mocked.
It was brilliant and beautiful!!!
Too bad for Obama that Biden wasn’t there, he would have laughed at everything he said.
I had to look a couple of times to make sure the guy sitting behind Romney’s left wasn’t Biden. He’s a ringer for him.
Well, I know its hard to be unbiased, but honestly, Obama didn’t even look like he wanted to be there.
wow, that was the best speech i have seen romney give. he absolutely brutalized obama, and obama had to sit there and take it.
priceless.
Wow! Not a single weak line or wasted moment in the entire 10 minutes. Not one. One zinger after the other until a serious 1 minute closing.
That was a terrific performance. I cannot recall seeing anything like that before.
I don’t know who wrote this for Romney, but they are great.
Proof is that they are whining about it over at the Dem channel: “The Last Word with...” had a great complaining session.
That is his best performance so far!! Hilarious. The msm poodles are going to have hysterical fits when they hear this.
This is going to drive zero nuts all the way to the next debate.
Psyche war. Mitt is one smart guy.
Not a Greenfield ping, but you do not want to miss this!
Romney’s timing and delivery of those jokes reminds me of how Reagan used to do it.
It was killer. It will drive libs insane.
I’m convinced Dennis Miller wrote those jokes. Totally his style and he’s been campaigning with Romney this week.
