Obama Jokes About Race, Republicans at White House Correspondents' Dinner 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama entertained journalists, celebrities and political
elites at the annual White House correspondents' dinner on Saturday
night. In one of the more remarked-upon lines of the evening, Obama
poked fun at the Republican Party.

President Obama: "I know Republicans are still sorting out what happened
in 2012. But one thing they all agree on is they need to do a better job
reaching out to minorities. And look, call me self-centered, but I can
think of one minority they could start with. (Waves his hand.) Hello."
