The Comedian-in-Chief



Obama is a funny dude. He knows how to make fun of himself, and has great timing when delivering a line. Here are other highlights from his speech at the White House Correspondent's Dinner:

The Best of President Obama's Jokes:

On Donald Trump: "Now, I know that he's taken some flak lately but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald. And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac? All kidding aside, we all know about your credentials, and your breadth of experience. For example, on a recent episode of Celebrity Apprentice, at the steakhouse, the men’s cooking team did not impress the men from Omaha Steaks. There was lots of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. Ultimately, you didn’t blame [rapper] Lil Jon or [singer] Meatloaf, you fired Gary Busey. These are the kinds of decisions that keep me up at night. Well handled, sir! Well handled."

On Michele Bachman: "Michele Bachmann is here. She is thinking about running for president, which is weird because I hear she was born in Canada. Yes, Michele, this is how it starts."

On His Waning Popularity: "[Seth Meyers] is a young, fresh face who can do no wrong in the eyes of his fans. Seth, enjoy it while it lasts ... Matt Damon recently said he was disappointed in my policies. Well, Matt, I just saw The Adjustment Bureau, so right back at you, buddy!”

Host Seth Meyers's Shots:
On Donald Trump: "Trump said he's running as a Republican. Which is surprising: I just assumed he was running as a joke ... Trump owns the Miss USA Pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline the search for a vice president ... [Trump has] said he's got a great relationship with 'the blacks.' Unless the Blacks are a family of white people, I bet he's mistaken."

On The Media: "C-SPAN is one unpaid electric bill away from being a radio station ... Everyone knows how the MSNBC after-party goes: President Obama makes the Kool-Aid and everyone there drinks it ... Brian Williams came to dinner because it has the element he respects the most: cameras."

On Potential 2012 Republican Candidates: "As for a potential Republican field that could include Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich and Trump, that doesn't sound like a field of candidates -- that sounds like season 13 of Dancing with the Stars. And not the stars, the dancers."

On President Obama: "When you were sworn in you looked like the guy from the Old Spice commercials. Now you look like Louis Gosset Sr. If the president’s hair gets any whiter, the tea party is going to endorse it."
