Champion  6056    Menomonee Falls, WI |  Subject: Mitt Romney-- what a JOKE!That was some seriously funny stuff that Romney delivered at the Al Smith dinner last night. There are rumors Dennis Miller wrote it: “You know, with or without all the dignitaries that are here, the Al Smith dinner surely lives up to its billing. Usually when I get invited to gatherings like this, it's just to be the designated driver.” “And by the way in -- in the spirit of Sesame Street, the president's remarks tonight are brought to you but the letter 'O' and the number $16 trillion.” Full transcript here: http://blogs.suntimes.com/politics/2012/10/transcript_mitt_romney_a... |

Pro 9391  Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Mitt Romney-- what a JOKE! I listened to it earlier this morning and it was pretty funny. I was actually amazed at how sharp some of the comments were towards team O. I know they try to play cordial at these events but Romney certainly pushed the limit. I haven't had a chance to listen to Obama's monologue yet. |

Pro 6767 the Alabama part of Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Mitt Romney-- what a JOKE! I caught just a minute or so on NPR, so I have to listen to the rest after work. But Obama said something along the lines of learning that there are worse things on your anniversary than forgetting to get your wife a present. And also that he did better in the second debate because he got so much rest during the first one. Romney also said something about his secret to success being "first, don't drink any alcohol for 65 years..." |

Subtle, isn't he? On a related note, Dolan is one of the funniest guys you could ever meet. Really dry sense of humor, and incredibly engaging. Talk about a guy you'd want to drink a couple of beers with (and he's more than happy to indulge!) |

Cardinal Dolan said that if the Democrats and Republicans want to see what a big tent looks like Cardinal Dolan is papabile, someone seen as a possible future pope. One of the funny lines last night is when Romney said something about |

Champion 7821 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Mitt Romney-- what a JOKE! A couple of Obama's that I remember: "After my foreign trip in 2008, I was attacked as a celebrity because I was so popular with our allies overseas. I have to say, I'm impressed by how well Gov. Romney has avoided that problem." Both candidates took shots at Joe Biden. I don’t remember what Obama said, word for word, but it was something like, “You know, I sometimes hear that I’m too inexperienced to be president and that I’m not qualified to hold this office. And when I hear that, I usually say, ‘Quiet, Joe. I’m trying to run cabinet meeting’”. Romney had a great line, where he said something like, "Both of us have been lucky to have someone at our sides, supporting us throughout this campaign. I have been so fortunate to have my wife, Ann. And of course, the President has President Clinton." |

| Regular 94 Norman | Subject: RE: Mitt Romney-- what a JOKE! I thought they were both pretty good, granted they probably didn't write it. It is nice to see that they can actually get along with each other still. I liked when Obama said this will be his last time to run no matter what and he's trying to drink it up, but Mayor Bloomberg will only let him have 16oz at a time. |

| Austin, Texas or Jupiter, Florida | Subject: RE: Mitt Romney-- what a JOKE! They were both hilarious. I'm pretty sure I could sense John Stewart in Obama's and Dennis Miller in Romneys. My favorite was actually when Romney made fun of himself (this is what Ann and I wear at home)... |

| Iron Donkey 38643 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Mitt Romney-- what a JOKE! BOTH had their jabs. A little biasness there to think that Romney was the only jokester. |
