All the president’s jokes

KARACHI: Nobody doubts US President Barack Obama’s sense of humour but the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner was quite the riot, even by usual standards.

With 3,000 journalists, celebrities and political figures attending the event, Mr President felt free to poke fun at every other guest including himself. Celebrities spotted at the dinner were Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Ryan Seacrest, Tracey Morgan, Donatella Versace, Chevy Chase, Alec Baldwin, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Quaid and the Jonas Brothers. In case you missed it, we present a list of the president’s best five jokes he made during his speech.

I had my heart set on the Nobel Prize for Physics but you can’t win them all. All of our jokes tonight are brought to you by our friends at Goldman Sachs - they make money whether you laugh or not.
