He is such a natural.. that Daniel Day Lewis skit still has me laughing ~ you just know he had a lot of fun doing that. And when he said Michelle would have taken that Adelson 100 million.. I about fell out of my chair.
“Republicans want to reach out to minorities. Why not start with me?” UT. I haven’t yet seen the video of the speech, but this was a great line! What a way to powerfully speak TRUTH using humor! Thank you so much, UT, for always being there for some of us who miss the President’s live events.
So funny to see Newt and Callista all alone, left at the table, looking around for somebody to schmooze or be schmoozed by. Sorry, Gingrichis, no can do.
Wow – he did, didn’t he? Great point. Used to come home from high school and watch JFK’s press conferences. He had them all laughing, and yet those were serious times. Maybe it’s the ticket for how President Obama can “survive” having to speak to the WHPC at all. Just tell jokes.
It’s actually on Tuesday – but the celebrations began during the week when Yardarm announced his birthday – and will go until midnight on Tuesday night! Thank you!! 🙂
Same here GGail! Besides, every time I click on C-Span, I keep getting an error message that I am missing some Plug-ins. So far, I am really enjoying the reactions of the TOD members who were able to watch the whole event live. Of course there is the dependable UT, a.k.a Nerdy Wonk, who, as always, is doing a fabulous job with sharing the highlights of the President’s. and Conan O’Brien’s speeches.
Gobrooklyn, so great to see you were up to see your beloved President, despite all the pain and medications. Apparently, the pain and medication could not contain your spirit and your sense of humor. We are all praying for your speedy recovery. Stay strong!
But she was watching, wasn’t she…..and Nobody mentioned her Name and that is Burning her bat poop ego butt? So Palin must inject herself to see if She would be mentioned?
Sarah who? As if she or anyone in her family ever worked their “asses” off. If it’s so pathetic why has Presidents done this as a tradition for decades…….oh that’s right…..SP does not believe in traditions (From the movie “Game Change”).
Because I wanted help to take her down. Don’t worry – that loser’s gone for good! It’s just her image still around. And we can use that as a dart board.
Did she say “working OUR asses off…? What exactly has Sarah Palin been doing, or is currently doing, to be included in “WE” ? Isn’t this the woman who inexplicably quit her job as Governor before her term ended? Other than going around giving inflammatory speeches, what exactly has Sarah Palin done positively on behalf of the country? Sarah Palin is a prime example of what’s wrong with this country. For her constant whining, without doing any productive work, she is paid millions of dollars and emulated by millions. Yet unionized workers, and especially those in public service who are performing necessary tasks, are constantly demonized by grifters like Sarah Palin.
Yeah I tweeted the idiot back. My guess is that she went shopping at KMart but got mad when she realized she already bought all the clothes they have in her size. Now sitting at home drunk and lonely that Greta V and Sean don’t call her anymore.
Where is amk when needed??? 😆 😆 😆 THIS one is for you!!
A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation in Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the husband, “You can have her buried here in the Holy Land for $150 or we can have her shipped back home for $5,000. The husband thought about it and told the undertaker he would have her shipped back home. The undertaker asked him, “why would you spend $5,000 to have her shipped home when you could have a beautiful burial here, and it would only cost $150????” The husband replied, “Long ago, a man died here, was buried here, and three days later, rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance!”
This one I told my husband,so he could appreciate the fact,”that I don’t travel,” just in case my nagging gets too much! LOL Thanks isonprize,your funny was on the money!
That was so outstanding. I don’t know how our President does it. But he really let all the assholes have it tonight and it was a thing of beauty. Poor Sarah. POTUS still ignores her and she just can’t take it. Fired from Fox and not invited to the prom. Hilarious!
Oh, and I got such a kick out of chipmunk Ed Henry stinking up the stage. HE WAS AWFUL!!!!
Thanks, Chips!
Hello! Loved our President tonight, and always!
Congrats, jacqueline.
Thanks! Anybody else feeling hungry after that dinner? Ha!
I LOVE MY POTUS and FLOTUS!!! Conan got better as the night progressed.
Yes, I loved the part with the cafeteria.
Congrats and JO’B and Ouapiti.
Isn’t it someone’s birthday today?
Thanks, CarolMae. Fun to be tied for first with JO’B!
Lets cut the cake……..me first me first…..yummmmmmm cakeeeeeee,………
Your birthday? Happy Birthday!
😉
Happy Birthday CarolMaeWy…….now lets cut the cake…..
No, not mine, theo! Haven’t seen him today though. Mine happens to be next Sat. There are a lot of Taurus’s here!
POTUS talking about FLOTUS’s bangs and then the picture came up with him with bangs, I laugh so loud.
Chica, I missed the fact that the “PBO brushes his shoulders off” is on the OFFICIAL White House Tumblr.
THAT IS JUST TOO FUNNY!!!!

He is such a natural.. that Daniel Day Lewis skit still has me laughing ~ you just know he had a lot of fun doing that. And when he said Michelle would have taken that Adelson 100 million.. I about fell out of my chair.
sherijr, that was a good one too. Heck 100 million, I would have seriously thought about it too.
The one about building his library in his home country.
oh hell me too 🙂
Pres. Obama killed it. KILLED IT. These lines knocked me dead. 😆
Also the buzzfeed and McConnell lines! 🙂
He is so in tune with us, or we are so attuned to him (I’ve had wine), it’s amazing. He sees what we see in the lameness of it all.
Love that man.
“Republicans want to reach out to minorities. Why not start with me?” UT. I haven’t yet seen the video of the speech, but this was a great line! What a way to powerfully speak TRUTH using humor! Thank you so much, UT, for always being there for some of us who miss the President’s live events.
Chipsticks – you are AWESOME!!!!!!!
So funny to see Newt and Callista all alone, left at the table, looking around for somebody to schmooze or be schmoozed by. Sorry, Gingrichis, no can do.
President Obama always steals the show. Conan said to PBO, ‘it’s hard to follow you’….just as he was leaving the stage.
Here we go with that “PulledAnObama” hashtag which is up again.
Wow – he did, didn’t he? Great point. Used to come home from high school and watch JFK’s press conferences. He had them all laughing, and yet those were serious times. Maybe it’s the ticket for how President Obama can “survive” having to speak to the WHPC at all. Just tell jokes.
The press looked pissed! Lol! POTUS nailed it. :). Did you see there faces? 🙂
They had to know he loves this once a year get together?
#zingers
The press deserves to be laughed at. They should be pelleted with rotten tomatoes!
Truth.
There was loud applause when PBO said that. He and Conan knocked it out of the park tonight.
Again, because I’m a proud papa, this is our dog Stewie and the unfortunate ball which fell into our backyard today.
Stewie’s gotten big! I thought he was still a little puppy?!
Noooooooooooo…. he’ll be two in October!
He’s beautiful!
yeah, and he knows it.
🙂
Happy Birthday! Did I get the day right?
It’s actually on Tuesday – but the celebrations began during the week when Yardarm announced his birthday – and will go until midnight on Tuesday night! Thank you!! 🙂
Alright! That’s the way to celebrate. 😀
What kind of dog is that?
Pit / pointer mix.
Cool.
Conan killed me with these lines. 😆
Thanks for the recap, UT. I didn’t see Conan — I’ll check out his bit later. 😉
😆
For anyone who missed the awesomeness:

I prefer to wait for your version of POTUS – all POTUS
Same here GGail! Besides, every time I click on C-Span, I keep getting an error message that I am missing some Plug-ins.

Rerunning it now. By the way, what was the magazine cover that PBO said he was on?—-c-span no show.
I’m thinking that was the joke… he wasn’t on any ? after stating all the covers FLOTUS was on.
Ok, I will have a night owl music post for all of you salseros in a bit.
LL, just waiting for the video of PBO’s remarks to appear, will post it then – could you wait til after that to post? You’re a gem, thank you!
Ok, it’ll be a REALLY late night open thread.
Looks like a DK prof left convention…..
Yep!
Nutroots….
What is the image that went with this? I missed it.
“I’m not the strapping young Muslim socialist I used to be.”
they never showed it, at least on cspan they didn’t.
Go FLOTUS! 🙂
Was this when POTUS was speaking or Canon?
OK. I was pumped with morphine and muscle relaxers earlier. The jokes from POTUS slayed them all. I’m STILL UP!!!
How are you doing gobrook? I am sorry you are having to deal with these medical issues. Sending my most positive thoughts your way.
I’m ok right now. Pumped up from the jokes tonight. Thanks for the positive thoughts.
We are so glad you are able to be here, gobrooklyn!
Me too!!!
yep laughing is a great healer… healer in Chief to your rescue 😉
Hi GB,
Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much. Thinking of you – sending all best wishes and a super big hug.
I’m feeling that hug!!!!!!
Gobrooklyn, healing thoughts and love sent forth to you from my heart to yours.HZ
So glad you got to enjoy it. I’m watching the rerun on cspan now. O’Brian (O’Brien?) finishing up now
I like Conan. Always have a soft spot for him but POTUS SLAYYEEED him here.
Gobrooklyn, so great to see you were up to see your beloved President, despite all the pain and medications. Apparently, the pain and medication could not contain your spirit and your sense of humor. We are all praying for your speedy recovery. Stay strong!
I will do my best Nath! thanks 🙂
That photo-shopped pic with the skeet-shooting was hilarious!
Anybody have that “She mad” or “They mad” or whatever photo of POTUS and/or FLOTUS to post back to Sarah?
But she was watching, wasn’t she…..and Nobody mentioned her Name and that is Burning her bat poop ego butt? So Palin must inject herself to see if She would be mentioned?
Now Ms Palin that is Pathetic.
Sarah who? As if she or anyone in her family ever worked their “asses” off. If it’s so pathetic why has Presidents done this as a tradition for decades…….oh that’s right…..SP does not believe in traditions (From the movie “Game Change”).
Yeah, I had to look at her Twitter account to make sure it was verified and not a parody. Work? Her? Quitter! Not to mention Loser!
Sarah, many republicans in there, honey.
How dare this half term quitter mention working. She is just angry because she wasn’t there.
Why the hell did you have to post anything that witch Palin had to say? Who really gives a darn what Palin thinks?
Because I wanted help to take her down. Don’t worry – that loser’s gone for good! It’s just her image still around. And we can use that as a dart board.
But, alas, I’m already bored with all that.
Sicko Palin.
We’re having fun on twitter bringing her back down to reality. Where she is nothing but a footnote….covered in toe jam. LOL
Did she say “working OUR asses off…? What exactly has Sarah Palin been doing, or is currently doing, to be included in “WE” ? Isn’t this the woman who inexplicably quit her job as Governor before her term ended? Other than going around giving inflammatory speeches, what exactly has Sarah Palin done positively on behalf of the country? Sarah Palin is a prime example of what’s wrong with this country. For her constant whining, without doing any productive work, she is paid millions of dollars and emulated by millions. Yet unionized workers, and especially those in public service who are performing necessary tasks, are constantly demonized by grifters like Sarah Palin.
My favorite: “grifters like Sarah Palin.”
Of course, even grifters get off their damn couches.
the speilberg thing was so funny! I’m going to go watch the President speak.
Is this a way to be in the ring as LL and others spoke about earlier today?
My fave line is still——“Really? Why don’t YOU go get a drink with Mitch McConnell???”
I loved that one too Dotster, but I also loved several others; one example = Repubs can reach out to me as a minority
especially when he then said… helllooo, right here.
I was just thinking the same thing and laughing to myself.
yep that was priceless.. and he just said it so perfectly.
That was perfect. The only real value is this whole charade is that POTUS can really say what he wants to say at this dinner. LOL.
I burst out laughing at that one…others too but that was so perfectly delicious
I haven’t seen the live delivery, but I totally agree with you.
Just now saw the picture of POTUS with bangs. OMG RFLMAO!!!!! That’s friggin hilarious!
Sister Sarah Palin is PISSED OFF on Twitter. Delicious.
Good!
Yeah I tweeted the idiot back. My guess is that she went shopping at KMart but got mad when she realized she already bought all the clothes they have in her size. Now sitting at home drunk and lonely that Greta V and Sean don’t call her anymore.
Watching the replay on C-Span…..
PBO was even funnier the second time around! 🙂
Well if my President isn’t the best then I don’t know who is he was f@@@ing hilarious. He killed it, just magnificent
I laugh my butt to death when POTUS with those bangs pop up on the screen. I think the only one who laugh harder was FLOTUS.
Where is amk when needed??? 😆 😆 😆 THIS one is for you!!

Oh, and I got such a kick out of chipmunk Ed Henry stinking up the stage. HE WAS AWFUL!!!!
LOL “Oh, and I got such a kick out of chipmunk Ed Henry stinking up the stage. HE WAS AWFUL!!!!” Too true.
The President!

Rinse Priebus and his brothers Rather and Repeat……too funny….PBO and Coco did great tonight.
In Conan’s movie, Jay Carney will be played by the kid from ‘the Christmas Story’ LOL perfict fit.
