Related: About this forumPresident Obama hits Right Wing & media at 2015 White House Correspondents' Dinner
President Obama appeared tonight at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The President was self-deprecating at times. He continued to milk the 'an Obama as a foreign Muslim' angle to loud laughter and applause. He also bragged some about the success of Obamacare.
It was immediately evident that President Obama is well aware of all the attacks levied against him by Right Wingers. This was his time to hit back. And hit back he did.
By the way, before leaving the post, could you please vote for me to attend Netroots Nation 2015 under a DFA scholarship, a conference where I have generally interviewed and spoken to many of our politicians face to face. It is much appreciated. Here is an example of the folks we meet out there.

Looks like you have quite a few votes so far. And I thought the president was terrific - as usual.
