Barack Obama Pokes Fun At Political Friends And Foes At White House Dinner

At the gathering
he jokingly called "a night when Washington celebrates itself," U.S.
President Barack Obama took light-hearted aim on Saturday at a range of
political friends and foes, including the people running to succeed him.


Obama's comedy routine at the
annual White House Correspondents' Dinner included a sly dig at Hillary
Clinton, the current front-runner to be the Democratic candidate in the
2016 presidential election.

Noting
that some Americans are living in a time of uncertainty, Obama said,
"For example, I have one friend just a few weeks ago, she was making
millions of dollars a year and she's now living out of a van in Iowa."

Clinton,
who as a former secretary of state, former senator and former first
lady is one of America's best known figures, traveled around in a van
this month in a deliberately low-key trip to the state that holds an
early contest in the election primary season.
