Barack Obama: "Orange really is the new black."

As I have said before: Once his current gig ends in January 2017, Barack Obama should be able -- strictly on the strength of his White House Correspondents' Dinner performances -- to find steady work doing stand-up in Las Vegas. No kidding.

Obama bashes Birthers, thumps Trump at White House Correspondents' Dinner



As I have said before: I fully expect that, after he completes his second term as President, Barack Obama will pursue a profitable career doing stand-up in Las Vegas. Though probably not at a casino owned by The Donald. (BTW: Check out all the movie references -- everything from The Adjustment Bureau to The King's Speech, with a well-chosen clip from a classic cartoon as lagniappe.)

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the comedy stylings of Barack Obama...



President Obama rocked the house at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I laughed until I was spraying Coke Zero all over my computer monitor. Love his suggestion of a title for Dick Cheney's upcoming autobiography: How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People. And it's great to see he can mock himself as well: "No president in history has ever named three commerce secretaries this quickly." Could this be the warm-up for a post-Presidential career involving stand-up gigs in La Vegas? Stay tuned.
