I watched and have the complete video of Obama’s presentation for you.  Obama was in rare form and lampooned friend and foe alike with excellent humor.  But nothing sums up the evening quite as well as the “Everyone knows I’m a fool” look plastered on Donald Trump’s face throughout the evening.

President Barack Obama poked fun at everyone — from his wife to Donald Trump — during the annual White House Correspondents dinner, before ending his speech with a tribute to journalists who brave deadly conditions to get a story.

No one was safe from the president’s zings on Saturday night, including his wife and Republican presidential challengers.

Days after releasing his long-form birth certificate to refute claims he wasn’t born in the United States, the president began his address by showing what he called his birth video…

Note that there appears to be a separation taking place in the hair.  Will it be declared a national wildlife refuge?  Here’s the video:

A good time was had by all, with one obvious exception.  I found it most enjoyable to relax and take in the humor, a pleasant break from the daily struggle to protect this nation from Republican predation.

Of all the Republican liars exploring runs for the presidency in 2012, few are bigger hypocrites that Newt Gingrich, infamous for shutting down the government and philandering in the extreme.  Bill Maher built part of his New Rules segment around Newt, and showed no mercy at all.

Newt Gingrich seems primed to run on a value-based campaign platform as he explores his White House bid in earnest this week. And Bill Maher couldn’t help but point out the seeming hypocrisy in that decision. The "Real Time" host dedicated a portion of his "New Rule" segment last night to Gingrich — on his third marriage after two acrimonious and scandal-clad divorces — concluding "I don’t think actual newts are this slimy."…
