Thanks for posting! (I caught the end of it on TV) - Dan Hsiao
McCain was quite funny too. At the end especially when introducing Obama next =) - Davide D'Incau
This is fabulous! "That was a tough primary you had there, John." And thanks for posting McCain's too - about to watch. - Carla Thompson
This is excellent! I wish we had the same kind of moments in French politics! - Antoine Bertier
OMG... the AIG zinger... - Cyndy
the idea of this during a campaign just seemed bizarre to me... - Taylor Davidson
where is the McCain video from the Al Smith dinner? - John Blanton from twhirl
I love the quote that the problems with the housing market have been eight times harder on McCain ha! - Joe Dawson
Good humoured banter. Nice to see the candidates with a sense of humour during the campaign. - Chris Nixon
Its great to think that after the division between candidates, parties and America in the past months, this sort of event could occur. I loved it! Both were great, and we needed a refreshing moment to sit back and realize that at the end of the day, one of the more crucial aspects to life is the ability to laugh. - jcunwired
McCain was the best I have *ever* seen him. Won't change my vote, of course, but the McCain in this video is a lot more like the one we used to see before the 2000 elections. - Chris Baskind
both were pretty funny....but i think obama won the standup debate :) - don loeb
McCain was hilarious. As an Obama supporter, I am glad he wasn't that good during all of his other speeches ;) - Bret Taylor
One of my favorite lines was "Many of you know that I got my name, Barack, from my father. What you may not know is that Barack is actually Swahili for 'that one'. And I got my middle name from somebody who obviously didn't think I'd ever run for president." - Bret Taylor
Agree with Bret. McCain's comedic timing was a lot better than Obama's - Deepak Singh
This is really cool! FUNNY!!!!!!! thanks for sharing!! :) - Susan Beebe
Amen, @Chris B. If only the whole campaign were this funny and civil. - Heidi Moon
Hehe. Roast. Conjures up funny images to people here in the UK. - Sir Slippy of Slippington
They were both hilarious! Their writers need to work in comedy :) I thought Obama was the funniest, but then I am an Obama fan so may be biased. - Sheila Taylor
Swahili for "That One". Too funny. - Clay Newton
"Contrary to rumors, I was not born in a manger! I was actually born on Krypton...." - j1m
Funny, McCain was good as well. Can you imagine having that in France?...Not really! - alice ayel
Dear american friends: should Barack Obama lose the election, can we have him ? - dario
@Dario only if the international community will also accept an American intellectual diaspora as well. - Jason Carreira
@alice, maybe not the 2002 election, but a roast between Sarko and Séngolène would have been interesting. - James Williams
"Greatest weakness: It's possible I'm a little TOO awesome." - Rebecca Sun
