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.
What is the mooch wearing, beside the scowling face?
Forgot to add that since Mooch wasn’t there, camera kept panning on Obummer & empty chair!! haaaa
Eastwood strikes again...
Wasn’t there something about Dennis Miller and Mitt...that Dennis was attending some kind of gathering that Mitt was attending, or something like that? Miller is all for Romney...can’t give him enough praise.
obozo will say he did a great job, and head out to the mansion in Hawaii, where he can play and play and play. Delusional about his greatness, but clear-headed about how to have fun.
Did Dennis offer his services, or did Romney ask for him?
Now, let's go back to the mooch who was seen mouthing the words, “all that for a flag”, while watching the flag being folded in a ceremony last year, I believe. Yeah, what a “First Lady.” The mooch is the most despicable “First No-Lady” in our country's history. Despised for her marxist-revolutionary politics, oh, that's right, she likes Mao, too, if a Christmas ornament with his mug on it that the mooch proudly hung on the White House Christmas tree one year, is any indication. And I could go on and on.
Cannot wait for the Romney's to grace OUR White House. But they'd better fumigate the White House first, have a minister hold a house blessing, bring in a Catholic priest to hold an exorcism of the house (you remember that book by Saul Alinsky, the guy who dedicated his book, Rules for Radicals to LUCIFER..and obozo’s mentor, who I'm sure has a leather bound copy of the book at his disposal in the White House.
Can't wait.
Her gown was stunning! Morning in America indeed!
MSNBC’s O’Donnel and guests said Romneys performance was robotic, mean-spirited, and unfunny. They didn’t claim it was racist,,,so far.
Actually, I think that pic of Obama was from the 2008 dinner with John McLame.
However, they did show glimpses of Obama during Romney’s segment and he often had an identical expression on his face.
"The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama’s best-selling memoir, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.
“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy),” the president wrote. “Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths.
He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”"

Thank you!
I thought that very odd, also. Did you notice the empty plate to the left of Obama?...so she must have been expected to attend. She may have figured it would be too difficult to keep her phony smile pasted on that long. Hope Fox or some other news media enlightens us.
You’re welcome. But note in my followup that that pic was actually from the 2008 dinner with John McLame, although he had an identical look on his face this time through parts of it.
“She may have figured it would be too difficult to keep her phony smile pasted on that long”
She was terrified of any comparisons between herself and the lovely Ann. Sasquach is an ghetto abomination; Ann just keeps it classy.

The Governor stuck in the shiv....then twisted. It was 100% Obama smack down. Mitt was very funny at Obama’s expense. Romney further eroded respect for JugEars.
I thought that Romney’s ending was PURE class. I loved the way he not only complimented Obama as a man, but gathered in his arms ALL the people there at the dinner, at the same time acknowledging they were not supporters of him or possibly his policy proposals.
I thought that the two lines of Obama when he ripped Joe Biden were true killers. He had a couple others, that were pretty good, too. Not many of his lines rose to the level of Romney’s, either in composition or in delivery.
It was not only the composition of Romney’s lines that was good, he had nearly perfect comedic timing. But I think what impressed me more even the way he eviscerated Obama and his allies (and even Gov.Cuomo) with the body of his “speech”, was the way he conducted the last minute or two in wrapping it up. He took a towel and wiped the blood off his opponents’ faces after picking them off the floor, and offered congratulations on a good fight - really smoothing things over in a gentlemanly way.
