I don't know... it doesn't seem the right time to be cracking jokes for a man in his position.

Waste of money, the thing isn't even about what it was initially intended for, just one big circle jerk now.

A funny speech is only as good as the man delivering it. Originally Posted by lockedout

I thought it would be cringe worthy but that man sure can tell a good joke. He was far better than Larry.

If I recall correctly, he actually has a whole team of top comedians writing his stuff for these things. Still, it was another hilarious dinner, I can't imagine either of the potentials for next year being able to deliver anything comparable. Originally Posted by lockedout

Why can't they just stop these stupid dinners? Nothing but a bunch of elitist playing up to the easily amused.
Of course it turned into the joke it's become back in the 80's like everything else because you know they weren't doing this crap during the great depression or world wars.

Maybe he should've chosen a comedian carrier instead of politics? Less harmful anyway.Imo, Obama gave the actual comedian a run for his money.

It is hosted and paid for by the White House Correspondence Association, which is a private organization that represents the press corps that covers the White House and the President... And the proceeds of the dinner go towards WHCA journalism scholarships... Originally Posted by matt4pack

Obama is pretty much the man. I don't agree with him on everything, but dude he's a president I actually feel proud to have.

No matter what you think about his policies, you've gotta admit: this guy knows how to make a stand-up.
