Presidential Debate, Round II

[Townsend]

Every caption I think of is horribly skewed by recent news articles.

I'm guessing the laughs are faked.

Every caption I think of is horribly skewed by recent news articles.

I'm guessing the laughs are faked.

One memorable zinger I heard this morning from Romney:

"Brought to you by Sesame Street...and the letter "O"...and the number 16 trillion"

More gems

Obama, for example, made fun of his own much-criticized performance in the first presidential debate:

"Turns out millions of Americans focused in on the second debate who didn't focus on the first debate," he said, "I happen to be one of them."

Among Romney's one-liners was a shot at the news media:

"I've already seen early reports from tonight's dinner. Headline: 'Obama embraced by Catholics. Romney dines with rich people.' "

The president also said, "Earlier today I went shopping at some stores in Midtown. I understand Governor Romney went shopping for some stores in Midtown."

Romney said, "Of course, we're down to the final months of the president's term. As President Obama surveys the Waldorf banquet room with everybody in white tie and finery you have to wonder what he's thinking: 'So little time, so much to redistribute.'"

For his part, Obama noted that "Mitt" is actually Romney's middle name and added: "I wish I could use my middle name." It's Hussein.

I have frequently said Obama has a great sense of humor. That self-deprecating humor makes him more likeable to me.
