Obama Addresses The White House Correspondents’ Dinner

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was Saturday night. It was Obama’s last. *wipes away tears* But it’s OK, because all the celebs were there and had a grand time. Like, Kendall Jenner and Emma Watson were there, so obviously, that was a big deal.

In all reality, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is nothing more than a self-indulgent love fest. It’s everyone’s chance to feel important and cool, and it’s Obama’s chance to feel like THE Celebrity-in-Chief for the very last time.

But you know we have to talk about it. Here are some highlights from Obama’s address, which was mediocre at best.

He took some jabs at Hillionaire:

And he joked about chilling with Boehner:

I don't know why Boehner is unpopular with conservatives. Really, I can't imagine why. #WHCD pic.twitter.com/lg1SfHXOpV

(Oddly enough, Boehner still can’t figure out why everyone hates him.)

I didn’t enjoy Obama’s address, and it’s not because I don’t like him. I just didn’t think it was funny. Self-deprecating humor is the best, and while he incorporated some, there wasn’t much. His jab at Hillz was the best part.

Other than that, I felt like I was watching a Capitol dinner from The Hunger Games. Just being honest here. Your mileage may vary.
