Accidentally turned on FoxNews when they had on the White House Correspondent's Dinner on Saturday night. Some of Obama's stand-up was pretty good, although not particularly presidential. I personally did not care for the "Obama out" drop the mike closing. I really disliked Larry Wilmore to the point that I turned the TV off.

Agreed.

Mr. Obama was funny--up to a point.

I had no idea who Larry Wilmore was until I saw his routine from this event. It's clear that he cracked himself up with a lot of his jokes, but I just didn't see much that was even mildly funny. Guess you have to be a Hollywood/beltway insider to get it.

Makes me glad I was out of the country...

Clown shoes.

Much as I dislike the current pres, I can't deny he can be funny. I generally can't look past his actions long enough to chuckle though.

Wilmore bombed. Hard. Obama should stick to comedy and let the serious folks take care of the rest.

[Glenn E. Meyer]

That Goldman-Sachs, Tubman line to Hillary was pretty funny. I'm sure she appreciated it. Also Comrade Bernie.

With all the Hollywood celebrities who attended, some are calling this the White House/Washington Oscars.
