On Thursday, President Obama & Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will give keynote speeches at the 67th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City. The fundraiser, held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, will offer a light-hearted evening for the candidates.
Past speakers at the dinner include politicians, journalists, and presidential candidates including former Pres. George H. W. Bush & Michael Dukakis in 1988; Al Gore & Jack Kemp in 1996; and Pres. Obama and then-Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain in 2008.
Founded in 1946 by Francis Cardinal Spellman, the Foundation honors the memory of Alfred E. Smith who died in in 1944. Smith was a four-time governor of the state of New York and former presidential candidate.

Four years ago they did have shots of the other candidate and he was grinding away as McCain laid him out flat. He probably didn’t allow those shots this time.

Body language analysis?
BO: focused on himself.
Romney: focused on something outside himself.
To: Mr. Binnacle
MSNBC Saying that Romney went after Obama 8 times in jokes, but Obama only went after Romney 3 times - They said Romney was uncomfortable and unnerving.
Sissies.

All very funny Mitt. Great job to whoever wrote those lines.
You’re better off now than 4 weeks ago, too funny and of course Mitt has his lovely wife to lean on and Obama has Bill Clinton.. I skipped through Obama’s speech.

I missed the ovation at the beginning for Romney, but he seemed to do a better job (by far) and had much more rousing applause throughout. Obama was just OK, and I consider myself to be fair.

I don’t know. It will be the pre-season of basketball, right? and there will be a little vacation when the kids have winter break. Maybe Obama will not spend that much time in the office.

Does anyone find it odd that Michelle was not there? Serious question. Wouldn't a normal man say his wife was ill, or offer her apologies or something? What the heck?

I wonder if he’ll bring home a “doggy bag” for her. Did they serve Dog there?

This was the first time Ive seen Mitt tell jokes and OMG he is FUNNY. I didnt know he had that side to him..the jokes were HYSTERICALLY funny..the one about Seseme Street and how “Today’s number is the number 16 trillion” Mitt must listen to Mark Levin he came up with that one..Good job Mitt kudos!!
To: PghBaldy
I find it very odd that Michelle wasn’t there. Did anyone hear a reason why?
