Obama and McCain at a roast in NYC. Kind of bizarre, but it is funny. Apparently they do this every year, but I'd never heard of it before. Obama's is better, both in audio quality and content. They both make many of the same jokes: Joe the Senator, # of of McCain's houses, "that one", "Obama = messiah".
Obama's is stronger toward the beginning than the end. He's got good writers. A few awkward moments, though. His comment about AIG drew some awkward applause. It ends on a serious and eloquent note.
McCain spent a few moments offering praise of Obama, which drew strong applause from everyone in the room except Obama. I don't know if this was bitterness, or if he just didn't want to seem like he was applauding himself. He ended on a funny gag about setting unreasonably high expectations for Obama.
