Obama Cracks Wise At White House Correspondents Dinner
President Obama made fun of himself at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday, the annual "nerd ball" schmooze-fest where Washington's media stars get comfy with a mix of political bigwigs and Hollywood beautiful people to celebrate a year of journalism.
Obama, known for his comic timing and delivery, didn't disappoint.
On a certain news network's favor for so-called birthers: "Let's face it, Fox, you will miss me when I'm gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya."
Of CNN's wall-to-wall coverage of the search for the missing Malaysian jet: "Yes, I am happy to be here, even though I am a little jet-lagged from my trip to Malaysia. The lengths we have to go to to get CNN coverage these days! I think they are still searching for their table."
