Watch President Obama Roast Donald Trump in D.C.

By Christine Fenno Posted May 1st 2011 08:25AM

One the most (deliberately) entertaining nights of the year in Washington D.C., the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, took place Saturday. 'SNL' star Seth Meyers hosted, but our nation's chief executive stole the show.

This year, President Obama took the mic for some comedy aimed squarely at one of the dinner guests in the room: Donald Trump.

The president didn't waste time suggesting that Trump go waste some time, investigating famous conspiracies -- neatly equating those who doubt his birthplace to those who research Roswell aliens and gripping national mysteries like 'Where are Biggie and Tupac?'

The crowd howled when the president then explained, with a straight face, the ludicrously overwrought decisions Trump made during a steak-themed 'Celebrity Apprentice' episode, and how such issues kept Obama up at night. His message was clear: The notion that hosting 'Apprentice' is comparable to running the country is pretty hilarious.

Have a look at POTUS' punchlines:

The worlds of news and entertainment collided all night, as headline-makers mingled at the black-tie event and its related parties. Revelers spotted by the Washington Post on Saturday included Sarah and Bristol Palin, Anna Paquin and Steven Moyer, Paula Abdul, Salma Hayek, Mila Kunis, America Ferrera, David Arquette, Bill O'Reilly, Don Cheadle, Cee Lo Green, Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson, Rosario Dawson, Jane Lynch, Buzz Aldrin, Rashida Jones, Chris Matthews, John Legend and Wolf Blitzer.

and Obamba is what?

By Lawrence

I think NOT showing that birth certificate long ago caused all the controversy. A basic requirement to be the president of the U.S., is that you must to have been born in our country. The president himself not making the certificate public shows a disrespect for that requirement of office. Had he just shared the certificate in the first place, this would be a non issue now. So much for no drama...

By Ken

The arrogant and smug one is he who withholds his birth certificate and publishes one that has been "edited". And the one who withholds his college records. And the one who is destroying our Republic faster than anyone before him. If you love your family, you won't keep obama in power.

Lisa, this was all in a fun, good spirited atmosphere! We should all be able to 'try to get to the bottom of something we believe in' and 'be able to laugh at ourselves'. I think this kind of fun humor is what we need, especially during this stage in America's life. Recession, destruction in the South from Tornados, etc. I think both The Donald and The President both took it in the spirit intended! :)

@lawrence & ken:

Why is it OK for you to disrespect and insult the US Military like this?

It is as un-american as it gets.

By themeeker

What amuses me to no end are the lunatic fringe holdouts who still believe the birth certificate is false. Like Mr. Ken above.

Some loonies just won't take their medication because FUX TV tells them not to.

For all of you who said the President should have showed his BC some time ago. Well, he did, but you fools didn't believe him. That whole issue was such a waste of time and effort. So, what are you people gonna do now! I guess the brithers can get a life now.

Is it roosting or a pack of wolf ravishing over a lonely visitor.

By the_fool

President Obama is an expert at belittling, besmirching, scolding and scorning people. This must have been just as much a pleasure to him as much as wagging his finger and talking down to the people of The United States Of America. He especially seems to like to call people out like a Supreme Court Judge in a Presidential Address to the Nation. I am sure that he and his machine will do their best to destroy Donald Trump in every way that they can.

how would you like it, if the govermment asked you to prove that all of your kids belong to the same man.Some things should be left along and I don't think that everthing is everyones business just becuase they think that they should have the right to know all. Pay attention to what's going on in your own lifeand let the President to his job and focus on more important issues.

I totally agree with Linda,And I think it is time people start loving this Country and get behind our present president,instead of trying to destroy everything He tries to do.Can't You see the nastiness that is going on, and just put a sock in it. It is time to give this Country a chance to heal from the previouse Eight years of Hell.

wow you need to stop "smoking" those funny cigarettes and get in the real world...

JESUS CHRIST!!!! We need JOBS and lower gas!!!! This is the best this "president" is doing?? The only thing this piece of crap has been good for is bending over for half the senate and most of the middle east at this point... I pray we get someone who knows what he/she is doing in 2012 if not we are so screwed. :(

By Mrwirez

You notice there are NO mainstream republicans running against Obama.. Only Wackos. This proves ONE thing. They know they CAN'T beat him. Obama wins a second term easily.. The Tea-Party is the Republicans real problem. They pull any "normal" Republican into the frayed madness. The birth certificate silliness makes the Donald look like an imbecile, along with Palin, Bachman, and the rest of the conspiracy loons on the other side.

By Siobhan

Well..he just got Osama Bin Laden..Is that good enough?
