Barack Obama gave his traditionally comical speech at the annual White House Correspondents' dinner last night (April 27).
The US President took aim at the likes of Jay-Z, Taylor Swift and CNN during the event, which was hosted by Conan O'Brien in Washington DC.
In previous years, Obama has mocked Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney and Donald Trump.
"These days, I look in the mirror and I have to admit, I'm not the strapping young Muslim socialist that I used to be."
"Some things are beyond my control. For example, this whole controversy about Jay-Z going to Cuba - it's unbelievable. I've got 99 problems and now Jay-Z is one."
"I understand that when the Correspondents' Association was considering Conan for this gig, they were faced with that age-old dilemma: Do you offer it to him now, or wait for five years and then give it to Jimmy Fallon?"
"I know CNN has taken some knocks lately, but the fact is I admire their commitment to cover all sides of a story, just in case one of them happens to be accurate."
"The History Channel is not here. I guess they were embarrassed about the whole Obama-is-a-devil thing. Of course, that never kept Fox News from showing up. They actually thought the comparison was not fair - to Satan."
"We need to make progress on some important issues. Take the sequester. Republicans fell in love with this thing, and now they can't stop talking about how much they hate it. It's like we're trapped in a Taylor Swift album."

That impact is too much.
