I was a little disappointed in Mitt’s politically-oriented jokes.

From the clips I saw of Obama, he was very self-depricating and it really worked for him. I can admit that he was funny. He had Hollywood covering for him, so he has great writers. Remember that the Daily Show team wrote his lines for this year’s White House Correspondant’s Dinner.

That said, Mitt should have done the same. The Biden comments were fine, but the unemployment and O/16 jokes were a bit tough, considering he just followed Obama and I’ve seen no similar jokes from him.

Tou're smokin' crack.

Romney delivered perfectly, one right after another ... nar'y a chance to breathe.

Alfred E. Neuman (apologies, Al), had two jokes, the rest was recounting his days in the white house.

zero was given his pink slip a long time ago ... a victim of the tail getting his dog wagged.

Just look back over the last couple of months, especially since Benghazi .. zero has had no pep, no personality, nothing (even written for him) to say ... they dumped him.

Probably as long back as a year ago he was done but definately since Last month.

Huh? Were we watching the same broadcast?

Romney was quite self-deprecating, and seemed to enjoy poking fun at himself. Obama was lame and half-hearted, with halting delivery. And if you watch his face as Mitt is speaking, it’s clear that he is NOT amused. I thought his jokes were pitiful.

What we have here is the Republicans, CLC wing: “Chicken Little Conservatives.
Seriously complaining about last night is certainly nit picking and reflects an opinion that even the jokers at MSNBC didn’t endorse.

I, too, was surprised how by how tough ROmney was on Obama. However, I don't think I'd call it inappropriate, and I think it may been have been necessary for Romney to be tough. Obama has 90% of Hollywood and the media actively working to promote him (Obama) and run down ROmney. Even Leno, who isn't too harsh towards anyone, never really goes after Obama the way he would if O were a Republican. The Al Smith Dinner was perhaps the one opportunity for Obama to be joked about they way most other politicians are joked about, and the only one who could do that last night was ROmney. Republicans often lose their nerve out of fear of not being “nice”. Last night, Romney had no such problem.
