Obama's Got Jokes

A couple of weeks ago, President Obama traded jokes with Jay Leno at the 2010 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C. Check it out, Obama's got some jokes and most of them are better than Leno's (but then again, whose aren't?) He was in top form and a joking CoCo supporter as evident by a couple of one-liners.

I'm also glad that I'm speaking first. because we've all seen what happens when someone takes the timeslot after Leno's

Stephen Colbert - Whitehouse Correspondent's Dinner (2006)

Friday's post of Bill O'Reilly interviewing Jon Stewart reminded me of a great moment in political history: Stephen Colbert's roast of then-president Bush. During his closing years as president, Bush was a hot topic for comedians. Anyone can bash the president from the saftey of a stage or a movie set, but Stephen Colbert brought the pain live and direct in front of the prez himself. This is from 2006 and whoever hired Stephen Colbert as a speaker at the Whitehouse Correspondent's Dinner didn't quite get the joke from his cable news/comedy show.
