President Obama Says “I Got 99 Problems And Jay-Z One” At Annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner [Video]
President Barack Obama cracked a few jokes last night at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner attended by politicians, members of the media and Hollywood celebrities.
The Prez entered the dinner to his new theme music, DJ Khaled’s All I Do is Win,” as he had the room in laughter with jokes like “I’m not the strapping young Muslim socialist that I used to be” and “I Got 99 Problems And Jay-Z’s One.”
The latter joke was in reference to Jay-Z’s trip to Cuba and the President being pulled into the debate over who approved Jay and Beyonce’s trip.
The Associated Press reports:
Obama closed by noting the nation’s recent tragedies in Massachusetts and Texas, praising Americans of all stripes from first responders to local journalists for serving the public good.
Saturday night’s banquet not far from the White House attracted the usual assortment of stars from Hollywood and beyond. Actors Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Claire Danes, who play government characters on series, were among the attendees, as was Korean entertainer Psy. Several Cabinet members, governors and members of Congress were present.
And despite coming at a somber time, nearly two weeks after the deadly Boston Marathon bombing and 10 days after a devastating fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, the president and political allies and rivals alike took the opportunity to enjoy some humor. Late-night talk-show host Conan O’Brien headlined the event.
