Live Thread: 67th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner (Obama, Romney-9 p.m. EDT)
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.

I wish they would have shown 0bummer’s face when Romney was speaking. It would have been something to see I’m sure.

Now listening to 0bummer and he doesn’t look thrilled to be there.

Mitt is really looking like a winner and I think he’s now being perceived as the likely winner by the MSM. They may start abandoning O.

Now THAT'S Presidential class! I laughed when Romney talked about the different changes of clothes they go through on the campaign trail. “It's jeans in the morning. A suit at lunch. A sports jacket at dinner and then an occasion like this one where Ann and I can just dress like we do at home.” Great!

Thanks so much for your post! My sound card died so I can't listen to Youtube, so your post helped me get a good flavor of how really funny--and classy--Romney was.

And, wow! I LOVE that photo of Romney and his wife. What a beautiful couple!

“Great looking couple. Mitt is so handsome.”

There is not a couple in Hollywood that is better looking. In fact, Mitt is more handsome than any movie star currently on the scene...that I can readily think of.

Saw that Dennis Miller was campaigning with Romney and on his bus. Couldn’t help but wonder if he fed him a few lines for this speech.....some sounded “Millerish”!
