Here is video footage of Barack Obama’s comedic stand up act at the White House Correspondents Dinner.  It’s good to see Obama and other politicians laughing at themselves.  This dinner is a customary fundraiser/gathering of the White House press, assorted media, and journalists, but there were many celebrities and other public figures in attendance, including Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Michael Steele, Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman, Sting,  Warren Buffet, Barbara Walters, Steven Spielberg, Jon Bon Jovi, Mariska Hargitay & Richard Belzer (SVU!) and plenty more you can spot.  The White House Correspondents Dinner was hosted by Wanda Sykes; Barack Obama’s jokes are below:

Some stand out one-liners from Barack Obama:

“I’m gonna speak off the cuff [reads off teleprompter]”

“This is a tough Holiday for Rahm Emmanuel, because he’s not used to saying the word ‘Day’ after ‘Mother’”

“Michael Steele is in the house tonight.  Or as he would say, ‘in the heezy’…”

“..and that’s my Relationship with Hilary Clinton.  We had been rivals through the campaign … But these days we could not be closer..In fact the second she got back from Mexico, she pulled me into a hug and gave me a big kiss.  And told me I better get down there myself.” (win)

“During the second 100 days, we will design, build, and open a library dedicated to my first 100 days.”

“I believe that my next 100 days will be so successful, I will be able to complete them in 72 days.  And on the 73rd day I will rest.”
