On Saturday Obama took to the stage in front of his distinguished guests and gave a performance of a life time, taking some hilarious jabs at the media, O’Brien and even himself.
Check out some of these choice quotes:
Obama on how media has changed:
I remember when Buzzfeed was just something I did in college around 2AM.
Obama on CNN:
I admire their commitment to cover all sides of a story in case just one of them has to be accurate
Obama about himself:
These days, I look in the mirror and I have to admit, I’m not the strapping young Muslim socialist that I used to be.
The highlight of the evening was the spoof trailer of “The Obama Movie”, directed by Spielberg. The trailer shows Obama, playing Day Lewis, playing Obama.
O’Brien had his fair share of excellence, too.
If any of you are live tweeting this event, please use the hashtag #incapableoflivinginthemoment.
Like the president, I too, recently got in some hot water by talking about a public official’s good looks. It was the time I wouldn’t shut up about that stone cold fox, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood.
Last year, Tom Brokaw criticized this event for having too many superstars and A-list celebrities, When I told Tom I would be attending this year, he said, ‘That’s more like it.
Here’s a gallery of the vibe, as it went down.
