WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama poked fun at his volatile chief of staff in a free-for-all roasting of Washington and its politicians Saturday night.
Obama was attending the Alfalfa Club dinner, an annual black-tie event where the capital's political and business leaders give humorous speeches.
After a day where Obama readied a new road map for bailout spending and faced questions over a second Cabinet nominee with tax problems, it was chief of staff Rahm Emanuel who was a target of much of the president's ribbing.
"Now this hasn't been reported yet, but it was actually Rahm's idea to do the swearing-in ceremony again," Obama said. "Of course, for Rahm, every day is a swearing-in ceremony.
"Every week the guy takes a little time away to give back to the community. Just last week he was at a local school, teaching profanity to poor children," according to Obama. Excerpts of Obama's remarks were released by the White House.

Palin lying low during Washington trip
Palin has not scheduled a single media interview or indicated she will hold a press conference. She also brushed past reporters without making any comments Saturday as she entered the Alfalfa Club Dinner.

Are there any photos or mention of Palin anywhere?
What did Obama say about the millions of Americans suffer without power fro days in the Ice Storm?
Obama bombed.
Palin’s turning into a RINO. Begging for a government bailout and palling around with Democrats in Washington.
42 dead, a million without power in the dead of winter and Obama......attends another party.
Fox news (TV) is or was just covering it. They had Sarah video and and mentioned it.
And according to Geraldo, Barama bombed.
Bambi has a funny bone made of stone.
Where does it say she is asking for a Government bailout..The Dems in Alaska are furious with her for not asking for more money. She is 100% for the Infrastructure component of the bill and that is exactly why she is in Washington right now, to make sure Alaska’s best interests are met
Thank you.
they should find their way here to Los Angeles. It is over 70 today and nice.
Care to document that for us?
It was on FOX News Channel earlier today.
