Al Smith Dinner: Romney Fillets Obama, Media

The Al Smith Dinner is a Catholic charity dinner. Presidential candidates typically attend. I do not remember it occurring this late in election season.

Sorry, I just realized this was on.

Romney on debate prep: "First, refrain from alcohol for 65 years before the debate."

Just had a good joke: "Speaking of Sesame Street, tonight's dinner was brought to you by the letter 'O' and the number 16 trillion."

You can't get through an election without someone who truly stands with you. I have my lovely wife Ann, he has Bill Clinton.

"Of course rules have to be enforced, we need to make sure things are fair, (sarcastically) that's why we have the press."

"But the press and I have different jobs. My job is to tell the American people my plans for the country, the press' job is to make sure no one hears about it."

The press maybe sees things in a particular way. They've already written the headlines about tonight's dinner: "Obama embraced by Catholics, Romney dines with Rich people"

Obama on the second debate: "I felt well-rested, after the nice long nap I had during the first debate."

Obama on first debate: "I want to apologize to Chris Matthews. The first time I gave him a thrill up his leg, this time I gave him a stroke."

Obama talking about Romney's and his names: "Actually, Mitt is his middle name. (ruefully) I wish I could use my middle name."

On the next debate on Foreign Policy: "Spoiler alert: We got bin Ladin." (Funnier than it sounds, it was a self-deprecating crack about his intention to ride that body into November.)
