WASHINGTON – A presidential election just getting into gear provided President Barack Obama plenty of new material to work with on the night he describes as Washington celebrating itself.
"It's amazing how time flies," Obama told those attending the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents' Association on Saturday night. "Soon, the first presidential contest will take place, and I for one cannot wait to see who the Koch brothers pick. It's exciting."
Obama added: "Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker ... who will finally get that red rose?"
On the Democratic side, Obama observed that Hillary Rodham Clinton kicked things off by going unrecognized to Chipotle. Meanwhile, he said, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley went completely unrecognized at an O'Malley campaign event.
Taking a playful poke at himself and at Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is considering a bid, Obama said: "Apparently, some folks want to see a pot-smoking socialist in the White House. We could get a third Obama term after all."
The dinner also gave the president an opportunity to rib some of his loudest critics. "Just this week Michele Bachmann actually predicted that I would bring about the biblical end of days. Now, that's a legacy," he said. "That's big. I mean, Lincoln, Washington, they didn't do that." [personal edit of next paragraph for space]
Of course, he had to give a shout-out to his health care law.
"Today, thanks to Obamacare, you no longer have to worry about losing your insurance, if you lose your job," he said. "You're welcome, Senate Democrats."

Oh ya, The President rhyming with “bucket list”....ya, that’s dignified....
And Fox News is “scaring whitey’?
Well clown, just exactly which reporting are you suggesting is racist?
Unfortunately Democrat Presidents tend to continue their agendas long after they are out of office..
Even when he “makes fun” of himself, he is really mocking the Right.
Koch brothers? I guess I know Obama knows the cheap laugh lines for a liberal crowd. I’m very disappointed that the Seahawks’ Russell Wilson was at that dinner.
That smarmy SOB!
The petulant, self-absorbed, thin-skinned man-child doing what he does best...
Calling those lame jokes is being kind. Those are some serious groaners.
