Media Hoop & Hollar For Obama at Dinner: "Most of You Covered Me-- All of You Voted for Me" (Video)
Gateway Pundit —
His delivery was lame and his jokes were insulting. But the media sure loved him at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC. Obama may have received his most applause from the media when he said: "Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me." Here's Barack Obama's speech if you can stomach it: Obama should stick to the TelePrompter. His comedic skills were lame and his jokes were hard and mean spirited. Part 2 of his talk is here. ...
Obama at the White House Correspondents Dinner
Ben Smith's Blog —
The President gave a funny speech at the White House Correspondents Association tonight, offering a bit of self-deprecation -- fake teleprompters -- but saving the harshest digs for senior aides, Republican leaders, and the press.

Firedoglake —
Wanda Sykes had them screaming and crying with laughter at the Which House Correspondents Association dinner--oh, and there were a few jaw dropping moments too, like when Wanda asked if it was Nancy Pelosi's idea that Obama and Biden go out together for burgers. Sykes admitted that if her kids had a choice ...
(What's so funny 'bout) Obama's WHCA speech
Power Line —
Wanda Sykes's routine at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this past weekend has given rise to most of the news coming out of the event. John posted Sykes's performance here. Barack Obama appeared to have found her wish for the death of Rush Limbaugh amusing. Sykes also accused Rush of treason. It is somewhat strange that a professional commentator should became the butt of such vicious musings at a correspondents' dinner.
Obama's own routine has understandably attracted less commentary than Sykes's, but it's worth a look. Part 1 of the video is here, part 2 here. It's an odd performance. Obama laughs inappropriately ...
