[applause] it s been four years since i was last at the al smith dinner. i have to admit some things have changed since then. i ve heard some people say, barack, you re not as young as you used to be. where s that golden smile? where s that pep in your step? i say, settle down, joe, i m trying to run a cabinet meeting here. [laughter] greta: the new york archdiocese event benefits needy children. it s been a required stop for politicians since the end of world war ii. every four years the gala becomes a lighthearted pit stop for presidential candidates. you ll see more of both speeches later. right now if you thought the white house couldn t handle the libya disaster any worse, you thought wrong. you re not going to believe what
