President Obama stole the show at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night, and while we would say this is his final one, we have a feeling he’ll be back in the years to come…

Mr Obama also joked about his recent official visit to Kensington palace. Obama said. “Is this dinner too tacky for the Donald?”
He also took aim at Trump’s tenure as owner of the Miss Universe beauty pageant.
From hilarious slides to Donald Trump, Obama didn’t leave anything on the table.
“I was a little late tonight”, Obama said, addressing de Blasio and Clinton.
The Los Angeles Times reports that her grades and test scores have “been a closely guarded secret”, though as the newspaper reports, Obama has said she is a “hard worker”.
And this: “Hillary Clinton was flustered when a Black Lives Matters, protester challenged her. Man, whoa, I haven’t seen a white lady being that upset about being blindsided by a black person since Kelly Ripa”, Wilmore joked. The new version of the $20 bill will feature escaped slave and abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the front.
He mused about what he’ll do once he becomes “couch commander” after his presidency and received both boos and applause when he hinted at who may take the stage as president at next year’s Correspondents’ Dinner.
“I am hurt though, Bernie, that you have distanced yourself from me. Then I remember that small gloves are the only ones that will fit his tiny little baby hands”. “That’s just not something you do to your comrade”. “Love, Aunt Hillary”, Obama continued, imitating Clinton’s voice. “Sending a Facebook poke to America and trying to figure out if things were showing up on the wall were the antics President Obama ascribed to Hillary’s campaign”.
Heh, I think she got off easy with that one.
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was next in line.
Mocking the media’s obsession with Trump, Obama joked about likely chaos at the Republican National Convention this year: “The guy wanted to give his hotel business a boost and now we’re praying that Cleveland makes it through July”.
“The only way you can date [Michelle] in photos is by looking at me. Now I’m awake anyway because I gotta go to the bathroom”, he said. “I’m grey, grizzled… counting down the days to my death panel”.
He kidded about the pains of being a lame duck President.
“Last week Prince George showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe”, Obama said.
“That was a slap in the face – a clear breach of protocol”.
