Where is the Barack Obama video. Put it up and see how self deprecating he is which is in line with the spirit of the moment. I hope you will do so soon. Realize this is a Barack Obama thread. There is also a Mitt Romney thread. Do you have it mixed up and posted the Obama clip there?

Romney was pretty clever........but his comments were more like zingers with an occasional joke mixed in which got a reaction from the general audience. However, my focus was on the people sitting on the podium........ they were smiling and sometimes laughing at Romney's zingers but mostly they were just clapping. With Obama, his comments were really jokes and truly funny, and the people on the podium were mostly laughing. To me that really is the difference between the two men..........Obama wanted people to laugh; Romney played the bully using this dinner and his schtick to the advantage of his campaign. I knew very little about Romney when he started running earlier this year. As the GOP primary moved on, I got to know him better and I thought he was okay as Rs go. But in the last couple of months I see him more clearly for the man he is and its not a pretty picture. He is a mean spirited man prone to bullying, arrogance and noblesse oblige. I hope Americans kick him to the curb where he belongs. Ann Romney has said this is his last campaign...........I hope she wasn't lying.
