Obama and McCain at the Al Smith Charity Banquet in 2008

Did you see Friday April 2, 2010 Wall Street Journal Best of the Web at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304871704575159950742887316.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_MIDDLETopOpinion

Regarding Accountability Journalism, and "What do you love most about Barack Obama? If you're like the Associated Press's Mark S. Smith, the answer is the president's sense of humor". It strains credulity that evidence included the noted "annual Al Smith charity banquet in 2008".

One cannot watch the YouTube video clips and believe that a person thinking humor was important in casting a vote for president would not then become a McCain voter.

Of course, the assembled basically laughed at all joke attempts, and Senator Obama was funny, but not anywhere as funny and clever as McCain.

See Senator McCain's who somehow is funnier while able to make some touching and important comments. His introduction "raising expectations" of Senator Obama is a classic.
