President Obama complete remarks at 2015 White House Correspondents' Dinner (C-SPAN)

From C-SPAN coverage, President Obama remarks at the 2014 White House Correspondents' Dinner. Watch the complete video here: cs.pn/1JFZuMo

[@BrokeMyCrayon]

They should retitle this video "Obama roasts washington." or Welcome to the Comedy Central Roast of Washington, with your roast master Barrack motherfucking Obama.

[@ThePiscesmMended]

Broke My Crayon thats what the correspondents dinner is, traditionally. even in a system like ours, there is a need for a jester; the only court position capable of addressing the king without recourse, and where the social position of 'comedian' comes from. the roast, or in this case correspondents dinner, fills our social need/desire for unfiltered, honest communication. of course this dinner is a roast. it has to happen somewhere.

[@KnowledgeKnockoutQuiz]

Maggie Akdogan Right! As I posted below & will just copy & paste for time purposes ;).... There's always a few trying to prove a point to the camera .... some disrespectful lots peppered about, or either trying to be cautious as to not 'offend' certain segments of the population by laughing at the Presidents jokes.... we know there are always a lot of entertainers there... including some of the 'journalists'. ;) Just the way it is... pandering silently .... as@holes... ;)

Sam Bown I like Mr. Obama, voted for him twice. Here's some things he isn't: 1. The best President ever, 2. The worst President ever. 3. The most radical President ever. 4. A Kenyan. 5. A Socialist. Mr. Obama is a moderate Democrat who, overall, hasn't been all that effective. Where's the public option? (I live in Massachusetts, where Governor Romney provided one in his Mandated Health Care plan). Where's the investigation into the crimes of the Bush administration? Where's the research into new nuclear power technologies such as Pebble Bed reactors and Thorium fuel? Why aren't Wall Street criminals in jail? All in all, just the fact that his election kept an idiot like Palin or an oligarch like Romney away from power is enough to celebrate. But he could've done more....

[@TheBambinoitaliano]

Robb Scott Credit should be given to the republicans who pander to the stupid religious right group to make it so easy for the citizens to choose. They did such a disservice to the democratic system of a country. Shedding all their responsibilities and accomplish nothing for the Americans. Anyone can be best presidents under such circumstances.

With the current candidates running for office, part of me wishes Obama stays in office another term, so I dont have to think about the upcoming shit show. Every president can be critizied, but I truly believe Obama did everything in his power to try to bring about the changes he promised. Michele Obama has been so productive and influential, I cant see the next first lady coming close to her impact and presence.

[@Romidamn]

I completely agree with you on that. The both of them seem like they certainly tried their best to better this country. No matter what any political side might say about President Obama, I believe he is truly humane and concerned by the well-being of the US and it's citizens.

[@MsJassi13]

Care to elaborate?

[@NoName-wl3jc]

+Jassi Arja Its a comment referring to the basic fact that american politicians (republicans and democrats alike) are bought out by big business. The koch brothers are one of the biggest contributors and lobbyist groups. They kind of are above the law and use the political system to benefit itself. Acknowledging the rigged political system perhaps will alert many who have no idea, and vote for candidates who are in the pockets of corporate america. Doubtful to happen anytime soon. American politics is run by capitalists, not people.
