Romney, Obama go for laughs at charity gala

WASHINGTON — President Obama and Mitt Romney compete for votes. They try to outdo each other in fund-raising, in creating the best television ad, in delivering the most pointed attack in a debate.

On Thursday night, they competed for laughs.

Both had some good lines.

the more I read about Obama the more disgusted I get

The $831,000,000,000 economic “stimulus” that President Obama spearheaded and signed into law requires his administration to release quarterly reports on its effects.  But “the most transparent administration in the history of our country” is now four reports behind schedule and has so far not released any reports whatsoever in 2012.  Its most recent quarterly report is for the quarter than ended on June 30, 2011.

How troubling to see Obama & Romney yucking it up with Dolan, the same guy who paid off child abusers in order to save some money & some conflict.  http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/31/us/cardinal-authorized-payments-to-abusers.html?_r=0
