I like Obama's 'Romney Hood' quip...

[The independent Tax Policy Center] determined that Governor Romney’s plan would effectively raise taxes on middle-class families with children by an average of $2,000 -- to pay for this tax cut. Not to reduce the deficit. Not to invest in things that grow our economy, like education or roads or basic research. He’d ask the middle class to pay more in taxes so that he could give another $250,000 tax cut to people making more than $3 million a year. (Boo.)
It’s like Robin Hood in reverse. (Laughter.) It’s Romney Hood. (Applause.)

was his delivery of it. Just the look on his face and mannerisms at the time made me laugh out loud when he delivered the line. I don't know why, it just struck me as funny.
