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.

Hummm... every time I try CSPAN I get zip...
At this link I get 'Content temporarily unavailable.'
And no amount of trying it later gets anything on the screen.

President George W. Bush was a flawed person (who isn’t? We are all retards at times) who had his heart in the right place. (see Amnesty bill, Medicare Part D, hanging Saddam the only guy who kept the bars open and taps and trains running)
But he was a decent person who understood that its rare to live in a country where power is handed over voluntarily and you can insult the emperor.
Lines are written by someone else and delivered by the emperors.
