President Obama’s Remarks at the Al Smith Dinner

Romney’s remarks were mostly a roast of the president and vice president, even though Al Smith addresses are supposed to be self-deprecating.

What a class act.

Romney, not so much.

Romney has to “self” to deprecate. He’s a Romneybot.

  One has to have self-awareness in order to self-deprecate.

I always like it when the President does this kind of speech….he’s genuinely funny and self-deprecating. I find that endearing. I think he made all of three very small jabs at Romney & Ryan.

  Agreed, and that is something that has been bugging me about the narratives from the debates. The only reason Romney ‘won’ the 1st debate, was because Obama didn’t show, so that allowed Romney to be ‘Moderate Mitt’, with no pushback (not even from the media). When Obama won the 2nd debate, he beat the real Romney, not the invisible chair. That made it more impressive.

Maybe Mitt confused ‘self-depreciating’ with ‘self-deportation’.

If you are a narcissist, there is no such thing as self-deprecating

I’m still trying to figure out where this great sense of humor Ann keeps saying Romneybot has. The jokes his people wrote for him weren’t bad, but his delivery was stilted and awkward. He’d never make is as a stand-up comic.
