Press Correspondents Dinner - 2016

Just watched it again. It was PRESIDENT OBAMA'S last dinner as PRESIDENT, and it was SO depressing to sit there and listen to this brilliant man - and then think of what we have in his place now.

Watch it - and really listen, especially at the end when he is talking about the press corps.

Then, just TRY to imagine IQ45 being in that same place - saying those things.

NAH! Just grab a drink and toast to what we once had.....................

The dinner has had an interesting history since, especially the 2018 one where Michelle Wolf created some controversy with her presentation:

It was "interesting!"

So, the next year, they went to an historian (yawn....).

The pResident* has yet to attend one as pResident* - especially since PRESIDENT OBAMA truly skewered him at the 2011 dinner:

It was brutal - and fantastic!!!!

But, let's get through the current administration and find some hope in the future.
