President Obama drew big laughs at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday, taking jabs at his administration, his Republican rivals and even himself. President Obama delivers some one-liners at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday. President Obama delivers some one-liners at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday. "I would like to talk about what my administration plans to achieve in the next 100 days," Obama said. "During the second 100 days, we will design, build and open a library dedicated to my first 100 days." He added later, "I believe that my next 100 days will be so successful, I will be able to complete them in 72 days -- and on the 73rd day I will rest."

He added later, “I believe that my next 100 days will be so successful, I will be able to complete them in 72 days — and on the 73rd day I will rest.”
Again, not funny and shows Obama’s subtle belief that he is a “God like” emperor.
I thought it was a snide at all those people who claim he is the Messiah. I thought he did pretty good with that one. Not his fault that people think he is God....he has told people to stop saying it before but it just keeps coming up.
This event was poorly staged failed to evoke the upbeat crescendo the fawning press gives its democratic leaders. Zero was visibly uncomfortable and sweated profusely. His comedic jibes were most often given ostensibly muted and less than spontaneous outbursts. Wanda Sikes, whom I like, was embarrasingly over-the-top, especially in her Limbaugh and Chaney remarks, and along with zero, must have agonized for the moment when she was able to step down. The press looked tragically down-in-the-mouth and FOXNEWS was royally crapped on although FOX continues to win against all odds. Hollywood, as usual, display their usual vacuousness and performed well. It was interesting to watch zero and his testosterone-armed misses, fully displaying their ivories in pasted stoic response.
Why should it backfire?
Narcissism and risky behavior are absolutely in keeping with what much of American society has become so he's a perfect fit.
At least, the part that gets off its a$$ and actually takes steps to force the government to do what it wants.
OBTW -- there is a congressional election coming up in 540 days. If you haven't started working toward a solution, the solution is working on you.
Could be taken either way -- he's arrogant and wants to reinforce the image, or arrogant and wants to use the cliche' to poke his opponents with something that he knows will get a response.
I'm sure he knows that mentioning it in a broadcast event is the best way to get it to stop coming up.< /sarc>
The celebs and the msm in the crowd LOVED his act.
He was right, most in the audience did vote for him.
Proving that class and good taste are WAY above your paygrade.
Thanks for proving my point. Didn’t take long at all.
you need a visit from the moderator
I went to the CSPAN website and saw a sample of the reactions to the "dinner" from those on "twitter". I could not believe how much they loved obama and that foul mouthed mean spirited woman (comedian ????)
Just reading that Meghan McCain has professed her admiration for ole Wanda. Said she loves her!!!
The part about Hillary just getting back from Mexico and giving him a big hug was actually funny.
Way back when...during the campaign....She admitted that until her Dad ran for President she had always been a Democrat.
The Left has a tradition of narcissism.And it takes a psychopathic personality to dedicate oneself to destroying social norms.... for “fun”.
Read about the psychopathic Chicago “ community activist” Sal Alinsky...mentor and teacher to Hilary and Obama....
