President Obama attends the annual White House correspondents' dinner

(4 May 2014) Little was sacred when US President Barack Obama tossed out playful but pointed jokes on Saturday night, as he attended the annual White House correspondents dinner, not even his own health care plan. "We rolled out healthcare.gov. That could have gone better," Obama said at the dinner. "In 2008 my slogan was 'Yes we can.' In 2013 my slogan was 'control-alt-delete,'" he continued. When a video Obama introduced failed to play properly, he asked, "Does anybody know how to fix this?" To laughter, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who resigned in the wake of the healthcare website problems, stepped up and said: "I got this. I see it all the time." The annual dinner has become a tradition in the nation's capital, promising a black-tie evening of humour and celebrity gazing. The event once again attracted an array of journalists, government officials, politicians and media personalities as the association raised money for college scholarships. The correspondents' association, which represents the White House press corps, celebrated its 100th anniversary.
