White House Correspondents' Dinner- Obama's Best Quotes

 

President Barrack Obama

On life after the White House

"If this material works well, I'm gonna use it at Goldman Sachs next year. Earn me some serious Tubmans." More quotes after the break.....

On being late

"I do apologize, I know I was a little late tonight. I was running on CPT -- which stands for jokes that white people should not make."

On who will be the next president

"Next year at this time, someone else will be standing here in this very spot. And it's anyone's guess who she will be."

On Bernie Sanders

"We've got the bright new face of the Democratic Party here tonight, Mr. Bernie Sanders! Bernie, you look like a million bucks. Or to put it in terms you'll understand, you look like 37,000 donations of $27 each."

On Sanders distancing himself from Obama

"I am a little hurt that you're distancing yourself from me, Bernie. That's not something you do to your comrade."

On his approval ratings

"In my final year, my approval ratings keep going up. The last time I was this high, I was trying to decide on my major."

On how Trump could assist his administration

"There's one area where Donald's experience could be invaluable, and that's closing Guantanamo. Because Trump knows a thing or two about running waterfront properties into the ground."

On what Trump is doing right now

"I am a little hurt he's not here tonight. We had so much fun the last time. And it is surprising -- you have a room full of reporters, celebrities, cameras. And he says no. Is this dinner too tacky for The Donald? What could he be possibly doing instead? Eating a Trump Steak? Tweeting out insults to Angela Merkel? What's he doing?"

On Trump's foreign policy chops

"They say Donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be president, but in fairness, he has spent years meeting with leaders from around the world -- Miss Sweden, Miss Argentina, Miss Azerbaijan."

On comparing Michael Bloomberg to Trump

"I see Mike Bloomberg. Mike, a combative, controversial New York billionaire is leading the GOP primary and it's not you. That has to sting a little bit. Although it's not an entirely fair comparison between you and the Donald. After all, Mike was a big city mayor, he knows policy in-depth. And he's actually worth the amount of money that he says he is."
