The 2015 White House Correspondents' Dinner

Ralphy, the White House Correspondents' Dinner is a long standing tradition which everyone seems to like. Hell why would Donald Trump show up to be mocked every year. With each successive dinner Obama has gotten more polished and he'll leave office with the bar set very high for his successor. I think it's a good idea for adversaries to get together for an evening of fun and glitz.
 

I've even heard comments that the dinner shouldn't have happened because there were riots in Baltimore just 40 miles away.. Come on........ if we waited for there to be no crisis anywhere, there would never be a fun event like this. I think the critics just don't like how good Obama is with his zingers..


What did everyone think of Cecily Strong's performance? I thought she was really nervous and it showed. Especially the few times the President didn't laugh.. but I think she did a really good job.
 
I didn't say that I agreed with the criticism, but it makes you think, and I want the press to be tough on all pols...

What part of last night made you think Obama was easy on the Press.. Looks like he slammed all of the networks pretty hard, including MSNBC. Why would it make the press be easy on him?
 
Not having to run makes it easier to take off the gloves and provided him a nice catharsis. Nevertheless, journalists need access and sucking up may give them it with some...
 
Considering what President Obama has to endure, I'm happy to see him enjoying himself. If that means I'm "blind with bias", so be it.
