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.

The local preview Chanel didn’t list it.

*****

I miswrote my previous comment: forgot the word “not”, as in cspan has NOT been writing accurate schedules. Lots of “TBA” entries when a program of interest to conservatives is going to be aired.

Romney wins, was funnier and not self-aggrandizing as 0bama was (as usual).

Obama is totally flat, out of ideas, out of wit. He really looks defeated. The story is unfolding right before our eyes. Every moment I am getting used to hearing the name ‘President Romney’.
