President Obama Speaks At The White House Correspondents' Dinner
AP: President Barack Obama offered a bit of wisdom to a ballroom filled with celebrities, political insiders and journalists: There are a few things in life harder to find and more important to keep than love.
"Well, love and a birth certificate," he quipped at Saturday's black-tie White House Correspondents' Association dinner, poking fun at the so-called birther movement, which questions whether the president was born in the United States.
"I happen to know that my approval ratings are still very high in the country of my birth," Obama joked. The president then took aim at Jay Leno, the comedian headlining the dinner, saying the talk-show host was "the only person whose ratings fell more than mine." Obama also cracked jokes about Vice President Joe Biden and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
