Plenty of spoofing at annual press dinner

Few were spared spoofing at Saturday’s annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, which featured talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel. For his part, President Obama noted that he and GOP presidential rival Mitt Romney actually have a lot in common. For example, they both graduated from Harvard University – though Obama noted that Romney has two Harvard degrees to Obama’s one. “What a snob,” Obama joked, alluding to a comment former GOP candidate Rick Santorum once made. Obama also had fun with some of the conspiracy theories about him – such as winking when he stated that he was born in Hawaii – and about GOP criticism of his having eaten dog meat when he was a boy living in Indonesia. “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?” Obama asked. “A pit bull is delicious.”
