Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City is held every election year.  Every time it’s held, the presidential candidates are asked to deliver an address.  It has become tradition, however, that rather than take the traditional ‘in your face’ debate stance, the speakers take a much lighter tone and turn the event into more of a roast of one another.

These videos give me a little more hope for each candidate and our country.  And they made me bust a gut laughing. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
