With the swag of a second term president, President Obama starred in the no holds barred event that was this year’s Correspondents’ Dinner. The president jabbed at just about every issue in today’s news, from immigration, to climate change, to CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, and he even poked fun and Virginia and the discrimination law singed by Virginia’s Republican Governor, Mike Pence.
In the beginning of the President’s remarks, Mr. Obama spoke about his “Bucket List,” only he masterfully implied the need to substitute the word ‘Bucket’ with another word sounding like ‘bucket.’
I am determined to make the most of every moment I have left. After the midterm elections, my advisors asked me, “Mr. President, do you have a bucket list?” And I said, “Well, I have something that rhymes with bucket list.’”
Take executive action on immigration? Bucket! New climate regulations? Bucket! It’s the right thing to do.
The usual suspects got their hits too. President Obama joked about the 2016 Republican presidential contenders and even those on the Democratic side. And he equated a Bernie Sanders presidency a third term for Obama.
And Bernie Sanders might run. I like Bernie. Bernie is an interesting guy. Apparently some folks really want to see a pot-smoking socialist in the White House. We could get a third Obama term after all. It could happen.
Watch all the president’s remarks below.
