Live Thread: 67th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner (Obama, Romney-9 p.m. EDT)
C-SPAN ^ | Thursday, October 18, 2012

Posted on 10/18/2012 4:31:19 PM PDT by kristinn

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.

I wanted to see what the Mooch was wearing but never saw her. She had to fake it out (her affection for BO)too much at the debate and probably had to go out with her girl friends tonight for some relief.

Wonder how embarrassed Matthews was when BO made fun of his biggest cheerleader. BO not nearly as good as Mitt.

Romney really knocked it out of the park. The jokes were perfect, every word was on the money, and Obama must have been absolutely simmering as he sat there listening.

I’m posting the youTube link here again for those who may have missed it earlier:

"I wanted to see what the Mooch was wearing but never saw her. "

She became transparent. She's no longer proud of her country.

A real, American man with a robust experience in life at many things makes a fraud, community organizer look like the zero that he actually is. His speaking voice and words that BO reads, written by someone else have completely lost their magic. (I never thought they were magic, but many did). There is no comparison.

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.

I tend to agree with you. If he loses he will be totally absent. He already is absent and he is president. He will be vacationing, eating out and playing golf until his time has ended. He doesn’t like to work. He has plenty of money and won’t have to worry about anything but which bathing suit to put on each day. That is until the investigations really start...

Romney will be a breath of fresh air after the last 4 painful years of Obama.

Did anyone else see shades of President Reagan in Romney’s delivery style? Man that was a great presentation. Flawless.

Sitting just behind him, was Katie Couric, and she couldn’t stop laughing for almost the whole presentation.

The Left is going to play hell trying to depict him as a stiff bore ofter this.
