Barack Obama a déridé les correspondants de la Maison-Blanche, dont c'était le dîner annuel hier soir à Washington, avec un numéro d'humour très prisé (voir vidéo ci-dessus) dont voici quelques extraits dans le texte :
"Most of you covered me, all of you voted for me. Apologies to the Fox table."
"No matter which party you belong to, you have to agree, Michelle has the right to bear arms."
"Sasha and Malia aren't here tonight because they're grounded. You can't just take Air Force One on a joyride to Manhattan."
"Dick Cheney was supposed to be here, but he was working on his memoirs. How To Shoot Friends and Interrogate People."
"During the next 100 days, we will design, build, and open a library to commemorate my first hundred days...we will house train our dog Bo, because the last thing Tim Geithner needs is someone else to treat him like a fire hydrant. In the next 100 days, we will complete 100 days work in 72 days. And on the 73rd day, I will rest."
"There are extraordinary hardworking journalists who lost their jobs in recent months...papers are struggling to stay open. I may not agree with everything you write or report, but I do so with the knowledge that when you are at your best, I am at my best."
