CRI听力:Obama Jokes at White House Correspondents Association Dinner
US president Barack Obama once again threw out cutting jokes at this year's White House Correspondents Association dinner, skewering cable news, the Republican presidential field and even Hillary Clinton's just started presidential campaign.
"Despite many obstacles, much has changed during my time in office. Four years ago I was locked in a brutal primary battle with Hilary Clinton, four years later she won't stop drunk texting me from Carter Haines."
After welcoming the cast of ABC's "Blackish" comedy, he warned: "(But) being 'Blackish' only makes you popular for so long."
One of his biggest laughs came when he noted that people ask him, "Mr. Obama, do you have a bucket list? Well, I have something that rhymes with bucket list."
The event has gained a reputation for being "Washington's wildest week," for the unusual mix of celebrity, media figures and government officials.
Jane Fonda, Bradley Cooper and Laverne Cox were among the show biz figures who attended the event.
