The next President of the United States is funny


Barack Obama and John McCain both attended the Alfred E. Smith Dinner in New York this evening, and both were tasked with delivering a roast of each other.

The split will reflect the polls: Barack Obama won the best roast, maybe be a wider margin. Along with roasting his opponent, he took the opportunity to roast himself mercilessly, and politics aside, this is a funny speech

McCain had some funny moments, but the angriness seen in the last debate could still be seen in the roast. Where as Obama was quick to make fun at himself and other politicians on both sides of the fence, McCain made some pretty nasty, personal jokes.

Ultimately you can be the judge.

Obama

McCain (the audio appears to be out of sync in this clip, so apologies).

    McCain slayed them!
    Obama was good to but for the evening, McCain topped him.

    Not to be trite, but having a poor quality McCain video seems to display some sort of bias. Can you please update it with a decent video?

    Duncan,

    It might help if you watch or at least link to a video of the beginning of McCain's speech ) . The first 4 minutes (which were left out) were the best part of his speech. Leaving this part out seems to make this a biased post.

    I didn't see any angriness in his speech. In fact, I think he was more jovial about the whole situation. When Obama was making jokes (even about McCain), McCain was virtually rolling on the floor laughing. However, when McCain made jokes about Obama, Obama rarely laughed out loud and usually showed his characteristic uncomfortable grin.
