Obama at the Correspondents Dinner Jokes About His Birth Certificate Being Hard To Find

“My approval ratings are very high in the country of my birth”

Obama: “There are few things in life that are harder to find and more important to keep than love, well love and a birth certificate”

.

Barack Obama took shots at his poll drops, birthers, death panels, and Arizona’s new immigration law on Saturday night.
Obama opened for comedian Jay Leno at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, noting that Leno was the “only person whose ratings fell more than mine.
“I’m also glad I’m speaking first, because we’ve all seen what happens when someone takes the time slot after Leno,” Obama said in reference to the Conan O’Brien “Tonight Show” fiasco.

But, the president joked, “I know my approval ratings are still very high in the country of my birth.”

Leno prodded back at Obama when it was his turn at bat. First up: the controversy over Obama’s plans with the space program.

“We can point to one achievement during his administration,” Leno said. “We did get one astronaut on ‘Dancing on the Stars.'”

“He loves to socialize,” Leno added of the president. “Healthcare. Car companies.”

“And we all know what happens in Arizona when you don’t have ID,” Obama said, taking a shot at the controversial law that has sparked protests — and calls on Capitol Hill to move on immigration reform. “Adios amigos!”

But instead, the president focused on the domestic priority that he spent much of his term thus far getting pushed through.

“There aren’t a few secret provisions in the healthcare plan,” Obama said. “There are, like, hundreds.”

Wild Thing says:

BobF., we did too. Obama was horrible and hardly got any real laughs at all almost a SILENCE several times too and one could tell obama was not comfortable at all.
Your right too about Leno, he was having a really bad night of it.

Wild Thing says:
