Obama Takes Aim at Presidential Hopefuls at White House Correspondents Dinner
White House,Barack Obama,Politics
President Barack Obama took swipes at the field of candidates looking to succeed him in the White House, and joked about Congress, Joe Biden, Dick Cheney, Donald Trump, journalists and himself in his remarks at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday.
Mr. Obama, enjoying a degree of freedom that comes with being near the end of a second term, was particularly animated when discussing climate change. Playing off a Comedy Central sketch, Mr. Obama tapped his βanger translatorβ to deride Sen. Jim Inhofeβs (R., Okla.) use of a snowball on the Senate floor in February to question climate change.
