President Obama and Romney will attend the Alfred E. Smith dinner tonight (9pm ET) to tell JOKES

Last edited Thu Oct 18, 2012, 07:47 PM - Edit history (4)



C-Span1 will be airing the dinner live at 9pm ET.

In 2008 C-Span, MSNBC, FoxNews aired it - not sure about CNN.
All 'em will probably be airing it live tonight.

Looking forward to this !!!


For the folks that missed seeing it in 2008 below are video clips of Obama and McCain .

That grill was scary during the debate.

It is obvious he isn't used to being confronted.

but when he tries, you can hear crickets.


The President, on the other hand, has perfect delivery and a refreshing sense of comedic timing that supersedes most anyone else I can think of.


Give him hell, Mr. President!!
