2015 WHCD

Killed it ...

[AURaptor 1,121]

I guess. Hard not to kill it when you've got great writers and a room full of mostly sycophants.

[AUDub 11,131]

Nice to see him cut loose. Key's appearance was hilarious.

When a guy with his face on a hope poster calls you self-centered, you know you have a problem.

[Proud Tiger 4,261]

I wish he would focus more on killing terrorists.

[TexasTiger 12,810]

I wish he would focus more on killing terrorists.

I remember your complaints about Bush attending.

Hang on, I've got a microphone around here somewhere for you to drop...

If anyone can't (or won't) watch the vid, here's some of the best jokes from it. I have to admit, they're pretty good.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2015/04/26/402293168/7-obama-jokes-that-stood-out-from-the-white-house-correspondents-dinner?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20150426

It's a long-time ritual — American presidents going before the Washington journalists who cover them to recognize some of the best work of the prior year from the assembled crowd.

Of course, there are also jokes. Here are eight Obama jokes that stood out from the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner:

1. The "Bucket" List: Obama said he's asked, " 'Do you have a bucket list?' I say, well I have something that rhymes with bucket."

Immigration executive action? "Bucket!" he deadpanned. Stricter climate rules. "Bucket!"

2. Those Grey Hairs: "I look so old John Boehner's already invited Netanyahu to speak at my funeral."

Meanwhile, First Lady Michelle Obama looks great, he said. "I ask her her secret. She says, [Obama employing a nasally voice] 'Fresh fruits and vegetables.' It's aggravating."

He also lamented that he has so much to do, like negotiate with Iran, "all while finding time to pray five times a day."

3. "Arrogant And Aloof": "People say I'm arrogant and aloof," the president said. "Some people are so dumb."

4. End of Times: "Michele Bachmann predicted I would bring about the Biblical end of days. Now that's big. ... Lincoln, Washington — they didn't do that."

5. Hillary Clinton: The economy's gotten so bad for some people, Obama said, "I had a friend, just a few weeks ago, she was making millions of dollars a year, and now she's living out of a van in Iowa."

6. The 2016 GOP Field: "The Koch brothers think they need to spend a billion dollars to get folks to like one of these people," Obama said of the potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates. "I raised a lot ... but my middle name is Hussein."

7. Reach Out And Touch A Veep: Talking about how close he and Vice President Biden have gotten, especially in stressful times, Obama joked that he loves Biden's back massages. "Those Joe Biden shoulder massages are like magic. You should try one." [Pause.] "Oh, you have?"

He added, "We've gotten so close, in some places in Indiana, they won't serve us pizza anymore."

8. A Third Obama Term (Sorta): Talking about how much he liked Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who could run for the Democratic nomination for president: "Apparently people really want to see a pot-smoking socialist in the White House. We could get a third Obama term after all."

Killed it ...

Others may write the jokes, but he has a great sense of delivery, better than many Chief Executives of my lifetime. He might want to consider stand up comedy in retirement.

I had planned to look up a clip of last night's dinner...thanks for saving me the trouble!

So, per the source in the graph above, as I read it, in '06, we did nothing BUT kill 88 civilians ?

I missed that report.

I don't mind some light hearted self deprecating humor and all, but funny how the MSM spins it when W was in office, and now that it's Barry's turn.

[AUUSN 823]

Religious school attacked

It is one of the worst incidents of the entire drones campaign, yet one of the least reported. A CIA strike in 2006 killed up to 69 children, among 80 civilians.The attack was on a religious seminary in Chenegai, in Bajaur Agency.

He's a full blown narcissist

I enjoy the WHCD and President Obama is at his best in this environment. I agree, he killed it!

He was, but many acted furious about his remark on looking for WMD , yet give Barry a full pass at his " jokes ". So you may remove your now.

Obama "all while trying to pray 5 times a day"

It's until you back up your statement. That's the way works.

I thought it was pretty funny myself. Not a fan, but I'd have a beer with him.

So here's a fun thought experiment: Who (reasonably) would any of you NOT have a beer with?

I mean...cmon. Beer.
