What jokes did Obama tell at the annual White House Journalists Association dinner?

The annual reception banquet of the American White House Journalists Association was held in Washington, D.C. on the evening of April 30th, which was the last time that US President Barack Obama attended this dinner. As usual, Obama shook his baggage, told jokes, satirized politicians, spit out the media and showed American humor at this "White House Crosstalk Conference".

Open self-deprecating video collection

Before Obama took the stage to tell jokes, the White House Journalists Association broadcast a video dedicated to Obama to commemorate his eight-year presidency. As a result, the video content is all a collection of his gaffes, humiliation and slip of the tongue. For example, he once said that there are 57 states in the United States (in fact, there are 50 states in the United States, 1 special administrative region).

Shortly after the opening, Obama said in a relaxed and nostalgic tone that time flies. His term of office is only six months, and he will be a veritable lame duck in the future. Although he hasn't stepped down yet, now he feels that no one wants to see him. When he visits England, the little prince always greets him in his pajamas. "It feels like being slapped."

When Obama visited Britain last month, he met four-year-old Prince George. The media took a photo of the little prince wearing pajamas and slippers to meet Obama, and it was a mess on the Internet.

Obama joked that he didn't know why his public opinion support rate was so high recently. The last time he was "so tall and so embarrassed" was when he was preparing to fill in his college volunteers in high school. (Obama admitted to smoking marijuana in high school)

Trump in the game

Then, Obama changed the subject and began to blacken old enemies and parties. He said with a puzzled face that he really couldn't understand the reason for the increase in support rate. At this time, two embarrassing photos of the party's presidential candidates Trump and Cruz appeared on the screen, and the audience burst into laughter.

Obama vomited: "Trump has become the most likely presidential candidate, and the party can't believe it ... Someone asked the VIP whether he wanted steak (implying Trump) or fish (implying Cruz), and you guys said you wanted Paul Ryan." (Trump once registered a steak trademark named after himself, and Cruz was called a dripping fish with a sad face by netizens. )

The US presidential primaries are in full swing, and party candidates Trump and Cruz may not get the votes needed for the party nomination. * * There are voices in the Party from time to time, hoping to recommend Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who is known as the golden boy in politics, as the presidential candidate at the national congress held in June 165438+ 10.

Obama continued to ridicule Trump: "People say that he is the president and lacks diplomatic experience. But in all fairness, he has met many foreign leaders over the years, including Miss Sweden, Miss Argentina and Miss Azerbaijan. " (Trump's company once had the right to broadcast the world beauty contest on TV. )

Pay tribute to Kobe Bryant.

In his speech, Obama did not forget to ridicule colleagues and media reporters in the Democratic Party. Finally, he talked about his life after leaving office and played a funny video "Self-Blacking".

Obama's conclusion imitates American basketball star Kobe Bryant's farewell speech. He said: "A thousand words boil down to two words: Obama is out." When he spoke, he blew a kiss like Kobe Bryant and finally threw the microphone to the ground. "Throwing wheat" is a performance in American pop culture, which is usually performed after the performance, aiming at expressing emotions and emphasizing opinions. Obama once threw a microphone when he was on a TV talk show.

Kobe Bryant, who has been on the court for 20 years, officially ended his career last month. After the last game, his last words were: "Mamba is gone." He blew kisses to the fans, put the microphone on the ground and turned away.
