Obama Romney Roast

 The president and Mr.Romney sat on either side of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York during the Al Smith white-tie charity dinner. They sat, joked, ate with rich Catholics to win points, and acted like things weren't the slightest bit awkward right after the tense debate. The jokes ranged from themselves to making fun of the other, getting points across in a light manner, downplaying mistakes, and possibly just having fun. Obama jested  that he was "attacked as a celebrity because I was so popular with our allies overseas. I have to say I am impressed with how well Governor Romney has avoided that problem." Hilarious. Romney retaliated with things like “My job is to lay out a positive vision for the future of the country, and their job is to make sure no one else finds out about it. Tomorrows headlines will read Obama Embraced by Catholics; Romney Dines With Rich People." There were wife jokes, rich guy jokes, and jokes on themselves. The dinners 'charity' goes to earn points with child molesters in a broken church.
