The WH Correspondants Dinner

[jaxx]

Funny stuff from President Obama......

“JimmyKimmel got his start on the Man Show. In D.C., that’s what we call a Congressional hearing on contraception.”

"In my first term, I passed healthcare reform. In my second term... we'll pass it again." (was that alito they showed?)

"In my first term we repealed don't ask don't tell. In my second term, I will replace it with a policy called 'it's raining men'."

"Congrats to Arianna on your Pulitzer. No one else out there is linking to the hard-hitting journalism HuffPo links too."

Pres. Obama at the #WHCD, taking a nice shot at Arianna @HuffPo: "It's a great business model, you don't pay them!"

"What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? A pitbull is delicious."

"Mitt and I both went to Harvard. I have one degree, he has two -- what a snob!"

"In my first term, I sang Al Green. In my second term, I will sing Young Jeezy."

"In my second term I will win the war on Christmas"

I can't wait for the video to come up to watch it again.

Obama Makes Republicans Pay At 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
By: Jason EasleyApril 28, 2012

<..> Interestingly, one of his most pointed jokes was aimed at the Huffington Post. He congratulated them on their Pulitzer Prize for linking to the best hard hitting journalism out there. He also said that they have a great business model because they don’t pay their writers.

Obama delivered the laughs early on and didn’t shy away from any subject including his eating of dog as a child. Obama asked what’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? A pit bull tastes delicious. Obama later brought up the Romney/Seamus story in the form of a mock super PAC ad attacking Obama for a spreading a European style dog socialism. The ad also claimed that our dogs can’t handle more years of Obama dog socialism, and closed with a picture of Mitt Romney’s dog tied to the roof of Air Force One.

<..> This was definitely not as controversial as George W. Bush’s skit where he looked for WMDs. However, beneath Obama’s light humor, we got a glimpse of the steel backbone of this president. The message in tonight’s comedy for Republicans was that if they thought that they were going to be able to roll over Barack Obama and take back the White House, they’ve got another thing coming.

President Obama is here, and he is ready for the fight. Even during a night of comedy for charity, Obama showed what he is made of, and this president isn’t going to back down from the 2012 election challenge.

Pool: Santorum gave a thumbs up when Obama said "what a snob" to Romney having two degrees from Harvard.

Thanks for posting. I only caught the end before. I can't believe some of the jokes he told, very risky. The Arms of the Angel, hysterical.

I'm watching/listening to it again. It was so good.

I love how he laughs at his jokes.

"What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? A pitbull is delicious."

This was a twofer if everyone caught it.

What comes off as smooth and self depricating from President Obama, comes off of Romney as jerky and awkward....

Notice in the next week or so Romney will try to follow Pres Obama's lead, I have noticed this trend over the last month and every time Romney fails......

[Born_A_Truman]

Anyone else watching this last night imagined what 4 years of Romney at the WHCD would be like? OMG, who woud need Ambien?

BTW, I've got the transcript if anybody wants quotes. It doesn't have the intro though, no idea why they left it out.
