President Barack Obama had nothing but lighthearted jokes at last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
On Saturday, President Barack Obama took to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner stage to his new anthem, DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win.” After letting the music hit and vibing out to the track, Obama opens up with “How do you like my new entrance music? Rush Limbaugh warned you about this, second term, baby! We’re changing things around here a little bit.” Obama kept things light with his speech, taking humorous jabs at his critics: Fox, NBC News, Republicans and the recent establishment of the George W. Bush library. Obama made a sly remark regarding the Jay-Z/Cuba situation, “It’s unbelievable, I have 99 problems and now Jay-Z is one of them, that’s another rap reference, Bill, I want to let you know.”
After spending a good amount of time entertaining his guests, President Obama took time to address the serious situations that have occurred over the past several days: the Boston tragedy, the explosion in West Texas and the floods in the Midwest. The President’s remarks expanded to all of the individuals who rose to the occasion with selfless acts of courage and to remember those effected by the tragic events.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was a huge win for President Obama who created a silver lining out of the dark clouds that have surrounded the nation over the past few weeks.
