Obama's 'Bucket List' at White House Correspondents' Dinner |
A doctored photo of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doing a keg stand and ripping on CNN for poor journalism were some of the highlights 2015 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The annual black-tie affair gathered journalists and Hollywood stars alike at the Hilton ballroom in Washington, DC. Editors and reporters mingled with the likes of George Clooney and Kim Kardashian. It’s like the prom, but for nerdy adults that care about politics.
Saturday night was Obama’s 7th go at the comedy-filled night, and he joked that since he was in the “fourth quarter” of his presidency, he was ready to complete his “bucket list” simply by using a phrase that rhymes with ‘bucket’ to achieve his White House Agenda.
"Take executive action on immigration? Bucket! New climate regulations? Bucket!," he said.
The evening wasn’t without jabs at the media. Obama roasted CNN for its excessive coverage of Ebola, Fox News for instilling fear with nonsense reports, and MSNBC for its in-the-gutter ratings. RT’s editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan attended the event and, despite the bad chardonnay,
facetiously lauded the commander-in-chief’s performance.
"Obama’s speech was hilarious - I have respect and envy for the authors. And Obama is an excellent actor – befitting a US president," she tweeted.
