CSPAN ^ | 4-30-11

Posted on 04/30/2011 5:24:12 PM PDT by STARWISE

Obama and Seth Meyers headline

Politics and Hollywood collide again at tonight's annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. The event has evolved into a star-studded affair as celebrities descend upon Washington, joining journalists and President Obama.

This year's comedian headliner, Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers, is charged with the task of poking fun at the President and Washington politics.

Each year, the President uses the occasion to show a more humorous side as well, making fun of himself and the people who cover him.

The purpose of the annual dinner is “to raise money for WHCA scholarships and honor the professional recipients of the WHCA's journalism awards," according to the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) website.

C‑SPAN begins tonight’s live coverage with the red carpet arrivals at 6:45pm EST. See complete coverage at C‑SPAN's White House Correspondents' Dinner webpage.

And then, as a coup de grace, Obama showed a screen with his vision of how Trump could bring change to the White House. “Trump” was prominently displayed in glittery letters and girls could be seen with cocktails on a Jacuzzi-augmented front lawn.

Trump chuckled at some of the earlier jokes, but was clearly less amused as comedian Seth Meyers picked up where Obama left off.

“Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising,” said the Saturday Night Live actor, entrusted with providing some of the comedy for the evening. “I just assumed he was running as a joke.”

Trump stared icily at Meyers as he continued to criticize the real estate tycoon.

At least Dems don’t mind bringing in comedians to go after conservatives and Republicans. Did W ever have anyone go after the dems or the liberals? He even had Colbert come in and humiliate him right to his face. I hope whoever the next GOP President is makes sure that the “talent” at their 1st WHCD goes after the dems and the liberals just as hard.

Yep, the ball is in Trump’s court and he can play it any way he likes.

If Donald didn’t ever seriously consider runnimg, this is more likely going to make him enter the campaign after tonight’s disgusting attack from O. Donald is going to be a mushroom cloud laying (as Don would say)Motherf$#%

Not surprising. Remember .. when you see the word ‘progress,’ you can almost bet it’s a Soros puppet/Obama operative group of oBots.

Network For Progress, a new “Yes We Can” Movement-building grassroots organization for supporters of President Obama’s vision of Hope, Change and Progress, called today for the Washington Post to rescind its invitation for Donald Trump to attend Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington as their special guest.

Donald Trump Booed at White House Correspondents’ Dinner
###

The Wrap announced that the Donald was booed tonight:

Trump arrived on the red carpet at Washington’s Hilton Hotel with his wife, Melania, shortly at 7:00 p.m. (ET).

After giving a brief interview with a group of several of media outlets, Trump — who was invited to the event as a guest of the Washington Post — walked away to a chorus of audible boos from the media members on the press line. (And it wasn’t because they wanted to hear Trump talk more.)

Some of us old time Freepers have some really fond memories of “freeping” the Correspondence Dinner.


I remember my Dad and Mom flinching when Bush spoke. As life-long Republicans they were horrified at the damage he would do. Which came to pass.

For sure, Obama has better speech writers and a better ability to poke fun at himself.

He wants to see the turd he going to beat by 20 points


Did you miss the jab?—”running as a Republican or as a joke”.

Obi gets this right. The libs have orgasms wishing for Trump to be Obi’s opponent.

Trump was soundly trumped. He deserved it for his own chuzpah.

Anyone who believes that Donald will be elected POTUS by RINOs and Independents is even nuttier than me.

If it hasn’t crossed your TV yet, you should know that dims are 100 percent in support of Trump running.

Draw your own conclusion.

If the GOP was smart, it would hold a counter-event/dinner on the exact SAME night someplace else - maybe in a different city. You could create a charity their own journalism scholarships at reliably conservative universities like Liberty or Hillsdale. And/or, you could create a troop support charity of some kind. But, to participate in this annual in-kind contribution to the DNC, is RIDICULOUS

Agree & I'll betcha Trump won't go next yr. It is so depressing to see what trash this nation has become - pure trash was there in full form.

When does she ever not look that? She looks like an R Crumb comic book character whose name I won’t mention

If you count this as a “win” for Trumfpf, then you must count tornadoes in Alabama a “win”.

Donald baby did not even issue a press statement of sympathy.

How much of his much-proclaimed wealth has he given to the tornado victims? A nickel?
