Special Correspondents Dinner 2011

Funny Obama

Obama is hilarious when making fun of Donald Trump at the Special Correspondents Dinner. I’m glad Obama put Trump in his place. Trump is kind of an A-hole.

Obama has experience roasting, as seen in this video from two years ago when Obama and McCain took friendly shots at each other.

I wonder who writes their jokes. Hmmmm.
