The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night gave President Barack Obama a chance to take humor-laced shots at those things in Washington that rub him the wrong way - Republicans in Congress, the media, his critics - and he also directed plenty of friendly fire at himself.
“I look in the mirror and say I’m not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be,” Obama quipped at one point, reflecting on how he’s aged into a second term.
Pres.'s clever quips draw more attention to the absurdity of the right wing attempts at maligning his character and Americanism, bet they like that ism on the end.
While he was kidding about himself, Obama sharpened his sword when it came to the GOP.
“Some folks still don’t think I spend enough time with Congress. ‘Why don’t you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?’ they ask,” Obama said. “Really? Why don’t you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?” The line earned Obama one of his loudest applauses of the evening from the 2,700 in attendance at the Washington Hilton.
thats kinda like Eastwood saying he couldn't" tell PRES. THAT HE CAN'T DO THAT TO HIMSELF"
how do turtles drink, how would theyhold the glass, can they raise a glass in toast, these and many more questions may never be answered, but let's hope the proverbial winning of the race with the tortoise was just poetic license
