Hard to know what to make of these dinners but surely the President topped everything anyone else has done to date.
:-) He did well, but the best were Reagan.
One was a clip of Reagan and Nancy, and he called on her to say something nice to the Press. She was silent. He cajoled her more, oh Nancy, say something, anything nice. She quipped, I'm thinking!
There was another Reagan clip in which he told a joke about a Republican politician going on a campaign. He comes to a farm and he asks if he could talk to them about his campaign. They said, sure, but we've never seen a Republican before, let's call the others. So while the folks are collecting, the politician looks for something to stand on so everyone could see and hear him, but all he could find was a pile of manure. No time to waste, he gets up on the pile, gives the speech and afterwards the folks said, wow, that was the first speech I'd ever heard from a Republican candidate! The politician said, that's the first time I gave a speech on the Democratic platform.
LOL
