Obama's dinner joke: I sleep with Brian Williams

At the 65th Annual Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner last night, President Barack Obama openly acknowledged that mainstream journalists are to be credited with making him a celebrity and even joked that an NBC news anchor is in bed with him.

"Why bother hanging out with celebrities when I can spend time with the people who made me one?" Obama asked the crowd of black tie journalists and media personalities gathered at the Washington Convention Center. "I know where my bread is buttered."

The president's joke-filled speech included friendly jabs at political allies and foes alike, including Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton and Fox News.

His joke about "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams, however, raised the ire of critics who have complained about the media's lack of objectivity in granting Obama favorable news coverage:

"I have to admit though, it wasn't easy coming up with fresh material for this dinner," Obama said. "A few nights ago, I was up tossing and turning trying to figure out exactly what to say. Finally, when I couldn't get back to sleep, I rolled over and asked Brian Williams what he thought."

I noticed he has never "joked" about Larry Sinclair.

[Sacajaweau]

The gays must have loved it....From a President.....I consider this a very off color joke.

[Lazamataz]

(Press milling about) Mister President Fag...Mister President Fag...Mister President Fag...May we ask one more question....Mister President Fag.....

[2ndDivisionVet]

I was wondering how long it would take him to come out of the closet.

[handy old one]

Would be funny but the truth kills it.

[wac3rd]

If you smoke crack with someone then have gay sex, it tends to hurt your political career...except for Marion Barry, who got re-elected in the same town as Obama lives.

[null and void]

Did Chrissy have a hissy?

[Apparatchik]

So I guess we should call him “’moBama”.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Only because the joke made no mention of him.

[jessduntno]

Does Williams realize he was just made Zero’s bitch...or does he care...or is he so ambitious he thinks its funny...I’d knock this Mutt on his ass if he made this kind of joke about me...this isn’t the kind of thing a man thinks is funny...

[null and void]

It was a joke?

Are you sure?

[Palladin]

I thought it was disgusting, but President Zero thinks he can get away with anything.

No wonder his approval rating is taking a nosedive.

[GOPJ]

If I didn’t know better - I’d say he was reading FreeRepublic. We’re the ones who always say he’s in bed with the MSM...

[Minn]

From a President.....I consider this a very off color joke.

I don't know. How long has "in bed with" been a very common part of the language? It's so common there isn't really anything sexual about it.

[Gaffer]

I bet he caught holy hell from MichelleMaBelle.....

[Cboldt]

-- I consider this a very off color joke. --

That's racist. But that aside, Brian does have a great tan.

[bray]

He owes homosexuals everywhere an apology. There are some things they won’t do.

Pray for America

[stubernx98]

Obama should have been an entertainer. Would have made more money. Got to admit he knows what is going on, and does have a good sense of humor(gallows type).

Lot less stress in H wood too. Now if we could get him to resign....oooops that would mean Biden, well get him to resign too.....oooops that means Pelosi....were doomed!

[Ticonderoga34]

Obama isn't loyal to anyone.

We all know his former friends that he has thrown under the bus, like Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers and now he mocks and ridicules the press that sucks up to him.

[wtc911]

Totus is a thug, he thinks like one. He just called williams his bitch. It's a pimp's understanding of power in the relationship.

If he did this on the street or on the yard williams would have to throw down or else walk behind him like a good little ho.

[hoosiermama]

Larry’s book is coming out soon.

Read the conclusion.

BTW, here’s another 0bama joke: The invitation to Iranian diplomats to attend July 4th celebrations at American embassies is still open.

[calex59]

Yep, and we believe it!

[null and void]

Now if we could get him to resign....oooops that would mean Biden, well get him to resign too.....oooops that means Pelosi

Nope. That would mean whoever Bidet selected as his Veep.

[Syncro]

Williams is already doing the latter

[F15Eagle]

Hahaha. Where is the joke he actually told?

Everybody knows most of the MSM is metaphorically in bed with him.

[gusopol3]

He seemedto: looked distraught as the camera panned the MSNBC table

[Retired Greyhound]

Larry Sinclair reminds me of Jose Canseco.

[Rushmore Rocks]

The best of humor contains a bit of hidden truth.

[hoosiermama]

OK,I’ll bite. How DOES Sinclair remind you on Conseco?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Seems to me that Zero is rubbing his face in the American people.

[tophat9000]

Obama and his Blew Dress Press having verbal foreplay

[Retired Greyhound]

Well, Canseco was a sordid character who blew the whistle on his baseball colleagues. He probably did so for publicity, rather than a public service.

I think the same is true of Larry Sinclair. He is a sordid character who blew the whistle (unfortunate pun) for probably the same reason.

[Miss Behave]

You are SO right, jess.

[RatsDawg]

That joke was like so Gay...literally.

[my small voice]

Great point....but what about a flaming metrosexual?

[SERKIT]

I noticed he has never "joked" about Larry Sinclair.

The only one who got close to the story but chickened out was Greta van Susteren. No one brings up Larry, the murdered choir director from TUCC, phone records allegedly held by the Chicago PD allegedly linking Barry, Larry, the choir director and the campaign, Larry's DC press conference and subsequent extradition to Delaware courtesy of Beau Biden. The state-run, spell-bound press lacks the intellectual curiosity (and maybe stomach) for the story(ies).

[bert]

Is Brian one of the fishes?

[Juan Medén]

For most normal people Obama’s words would have been an insult, the equivalent of calling us his b**ch. But for Brian Williams, it was flattery.

[SparkyBass]

It was a joke?

[chiefqc]

Why not, he takes knee pads with him when he goes ton the mid east after all he is their bitc* to pass around between themselves.

[Iron Munro]

"I noticed he has never joked about Larry Sinclair."

[ElayneJ]

I think this is really a mean joke directed at Brian Williams. This kind of humor is creepy and cruel - done in a way so BW can’t respond or retaliate. I wonder how BW feels about him now.

[paulycy]

[jessduntno]

“There are some things they won’t do.”

you obviously never heard of the Mapplethorpe exhibit sponsored by the libs a few years ago...a retch festival if there ever was one...it was VERY progressive...

[jazminerose]

That was supposed to be a joke? Dang, I feel so foolish now . . .

[skimbell]

0's statement left little doubt that it was intended to be exactly what it was-sexual. He stated that he was having trouble sleeping and he rolled over and asked Williams what he thought about something.

If you can't put that one together...?

[paulycy]

[La Enchiladita]

He’s a dead ringer for Terayza Heinz Kerry in that one....
