Isn't the tradition at these dinners for the president to mock himself? :hmm:

What part of "change" is hard to understand? :punk:

I can't believe he was able to keep a straight face.  That's awesome.

Yeah, but there is no material there.  The guy is unmockable in a personal sense.  I don't think anyone would mock their own political stances either.

OK, that was funny. "These are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night..."

There's plenty of stuff.  He could have played with "sleazy Chicago politics."  He could have played with his issues with the UK--work in the crappy gift he gave the queen.  He could have mined "closet Muslim."

These points are well made, but he needs to keep a reserve of material for the next 5 years of speeches.   ;)

Non-issue yes, but I'm not seeing where you get "nasty" from.

Especially so since Obama had probably already given the order to take out Bin Laden.

I like it that the line "We all know your credentials and breadth of experience." Got a laugh.

But seriously, the President can get away with shit like this when he's about to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden.

IIRC, he did this last year (or the year before?). "I am still very popular, I am told, in the country of my birth".
