2014 White House Correspondents' Dinner Journalists, politicians, and celebrities gathered for the White House Correspondents' Association Annual Dinner. President Obama and comedian and actor Joel McHale made humorous remarks about politics and the media. President Obama used slides and a cameo by Secretary Sebelius during his speech. A video co-produced by the History television channel to celebrate the centennial of the White House Correspondents' Association was shown. A humorous video was shown of Vice President Joe Biden and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, star of the television show “Veep.” It included appearances by first lady Michelle Obama and Representatives John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi. Journalism awards and scholarships were presented, with the assistance of Mrs. Obama.
In keeping with the dinner's tradition, the President assumed the role of Comedian-in-Chief during his remarks, poking fun at himself as well as a number of other politicians and news organizations. He joked about everything from the roll-out of HealthCare.gov — saying that his slogan changed from "Yes We Can" to "Control-Alt-Delete" — to how Fox News will cope with the end of his presidency.
"Let's face it, Fox, you'll miss me when I'm gone," the President said. "It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya."
Ending his speech on a more serious note, the President also remarked on how fortunate we are to live in a country with free press, and reminded us how the "fight for full and fair access goes beyond the chance to ask a question."
