67th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner

President Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave keynote speeches at the 67th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City. The fundraiser, held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, offered a light-hearted evening for the candidates.

Founded in 1946 by Francis Cardinal Spellman, the Foundation honors the memory of Alfred E. Smith who died in in 1944. Smith was a four-time governor of the state of New York and former presidential candidate.

As opening speaker, I liked the speech given by Al E. Smith IV, see the C-span video (link below).
