Obama mocks Trump at White House Correspondents' Dinner

Maybe President Obama should deliver next year's State of the Union at the Friars Club.

Last night, the commander in chief unfurled a string of sharp-as-a-tack one-liners at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner --- many of which slammed square into his potential Republican foe Donald Trump, who was sitting in the audience at the gala... ...Obama also lobbed quips at other potential GOP-challengers such as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and Rep. Michele Bachman.

But for most of his speech at the dinner, which is known for being much like a celebrity roast, the president kept his attention focused on The Donald...

I've heard better jokes at a bar mitzvah.

I see Trump as America's Churchill...an arrogant, self-centered, self promoting winner whose specific gifts and talents are exactly what is needed at this particular time in American history to suppress the deadly infection of Progressivism/Fascism within the body of the Republic. And he's quite conservative on most of the issues.

...the DEMS are terrified of running against Mr. Trump. They've gone all in now to destroy him, knowing if they don't finish him off now, he'll be their worst nightmare.

Now that Obama has played his 'Trump' card, it's time to turn to the real issue. The issue with his eligibility not only involves his place of birth but whether he qualifies as a 'natural-born-citizen'. Obama's MSM supporters are trying to obfuscate the definition of 'natural-born'---repeated attempts have been made to use 'native-born' interchangeably with 'natural-born'. It is generally believed the Founders considered 'natural-born' to mean born in country to parents who were citizens at the time of the person's birth.

Obama has a vindictive, mean spirited “joke” writer. He’s not creative enough to have written them. I thought the “jokes” were tastless and unimaginative. Perfect for Obama to deliver.

Mr. Orwell! Paging Mr. George Orwell!

The opening is just bizarre. It's all quite bizarre really. 0bama is clearly obsessed with his BC and anyone who would question him.

I think Trump has what it takes to expose the forgery and force the media to look at it.

Zer0 is in the attack mode, as he knows what he released is a photoshop fabrication of someones COLB, so he must get all of the MSM and leftists to believe they have seen the proper paperwork, before the truth comes out.

#2 You’re right on. Kudos to whoever wrote, “I’ve heard better jokes at a bar mitzvah.”

It's funny that what is traditionally a roast of the POTUS was anything but. It was a media asskissfest.

Can you imagine Reagan doing this? Can you imaging the media circlejerking their wagons around to protect him?

It is the end of our Republic. Bill Caligula and now Nerobama.

As to your assertions that Trump is conservative on most issues:

Military on the Mexican border
Wants ObamaCare repealed
Pro-Life
Pro-Israel
Wants to take the economic fight to the Chinese
Iraq’s oil
Already won the Birth Certificate issue against Obama
Lower tax rates
Against gun control
Against raising the debt ceiling
Fill administration positions with competent people not political appointees.
Will undo Obama World Apology Tour
Wants the rest of the world to fear us
Pro-traditional marriage
Christian
No 911 Mosque, too insensitive
Drill ANWAR
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
Never held elected office
Loves America
Knows better than to introduce a Win The Future (WTF) slogan
And, my favorite in-your-face,
Pi$$es off Karl Rove

Karl Denninger thinks he has the BC pegged as computer generated instead of typed (as Nat Guard "memo" that sunk Rather). LINK
