OBAMA JUST NOT FUNNY, ROMNEY SHOW HIS HUMOR

The annual Alfred E Smith Foundation Dinner was held Thursday night and as has been the case for the last few Presidential elections both candidates were the key note speakers for an evening of light hearted humor setting aside politics to honor the charitable work of the Catholic Foundation.  Mitt Romney and Barack Obama exchanged zingers toward each other and at themselves.  One thing was abundantly clear, NOTHING Obama does is funny.

Many have accused Romney of having no sense of humor but at the dinner he was not just funny but had a good sense of timing in his delivery and one liners. Obama tried and had a few moments but no matter how one looks at it Barack Obama is just not funny.  Which is extremely ironic since what he is doing to our country is no laughing matter, but it has always been refreshing to see a President with a good sense of humor.

Two examples that come to mind are Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy who used humor often in remarks, press conferences and speeches to lighten a mood or get a point across. Yet when the seriousness of the Presidency was necessary both did what was needed for the country, the Office and the American people. Obama falls short on all counts. He tries to be funny but fails, he tries to be President and fails miserably.

Following are both routines from Romney and Obama.  Listen to them and you be the judge. I believe you will come to the same conclusion that I have, nothing about Barack Obama is funny.
