Obama's White House Correspondents' Association speech.

[Kadrian]

I didn't see anything about this so I thought I would post so you all could enjoy. There are a lot of jokes in there and a good majority of them are pretty funny.

"There are not a FEW provisions in the healthcare bill, there are like hundreds!"

"My ratings are still high in the country of my birth."


He made a couple of quips at John McCain, Jay Leno, Health Care Reform, journalist, the House of Representatives, etc... Last year, the the same dinner, he marked out a few of the jokes that were written for him, but this year, he left them all. I am glad to see he is coming into himself and his position.

Is this serious?

I definitely thought it seemed like daily show writers were involved.

[Ohemgee]

Yeah. I heard it somewhere on the news earlier. But I wasn't really paying attention. After listening to it, it definitely had that Beef Stew touch

[Priran]

stew beef, you mean

[Max™]

All politics aside, I like this guy because when he's funny, he usually intended to be funny.

Not because he couldn't string together a... cogentified... verbage... regarding women, and fish... living together with the OB-GYN's who love them...

'Obama dinged Leno as "the only person whose ratings fell more than mine."'


Oh snap

[Bunnykillah]

Leno was garbage, though. Wanda Sykes was awesome in the 2009 correspondent's dinner.

[ZarakiKujata]

Obama has his own joke writers.. they might just be Daily Show alums though.

[Not Kuno]

"You know what really tickles me?

Eric Massa"


rofl this is hysterical.

[Ohemgee]

The Charlie Criss jab was funny

[BRP]

I guess if I have to be screwed, the guy who screws me should be funny and smart.

From what I've read, they specifically hired Kevin Bleyer for the speech. He's a Daily Show writer and not a normal part of Obama's team.

While Barack Obama summoned "Daily Show" staffer Kevin Bleyer to write his gags for Saturday night's White House Correspondent's Dinner, a Politico.com review of Leno's act shows the evening's headliner trotted out recycled gags from TV shows past.

Ah, well I guess makes sense to pull out the stops for this speech, but every president since like Eisenhower has had 2+ jews on retainer to write jokes for them.

Is there nothing Jews are not good at!?
