At the 65th Annual Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner last night, President Barack Obama openly acknowledged that mainstream journalists are to be credited with making him a celebrity and even joked that an NBC news anchor is in bed with him.
"Why bother hanging out with celebrities when I can spend time with the people who made me one?" Obama asked the crowd of black tie journalists and media personalities gathered at the Washington Convention Center. "I know where my bread is buttered."
The president's joke-filled speech included friendly jabs at political allies and foes alike, including Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton and Fox News.
His joke about "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams, however, raised the ire of critics who have complained about the media's lack of objectivity in granting Obama favorable news coverage:
"I have to admit though, it wasn't easy coming up with fresh material for this dinner," Obama said. "A few nights ago, I was up tossing and turning trying to figure out exactly what to say. Finally, when I couldn't get back to sleep, I rolled over and asked Brian Williams what he thought."

The gays must have loved it....From a President.....I consider this a very off color joke.
(Press milling about) Mister President Fag...Mister President Fag...Mister President Fag...May we ask one more question....Mister President Fag.....
I was wondering how long it would take him to come out of the closet.
Would be funny but the truth kills it.
If you smoke crack with someone then have gay sex, it tends to hurt your political career...except for Marion Barry, who got re-elected in the same town as Obama lives.
Did Chrissy have a hissy?
So I guess we should call him “’moBama”.
Only because the joke made no mention of him.
Does Williams realize he was just made Zero’s bitch...or does he care...or is he so ambitious he thinks its funny...I’d knock this Mutt on his ass if he made this kind of joke about me...this isn’t the kind of thing a man thinks is funny...
Are you sure?
I thought it was disgusting, but President Zero thinks he can get away with anything.
No wonder his approval rating is taking a nosedive.
If I didn’t know better - I’d say he was reading FreeRepublic. We’re the ones who always say he’s in bed with the MSM...
I don't know. How long has "in bed with" been a very common part of the language? It's so common there isn't really anything sexual about it.
I bet he caught holy hell from MichelleMaBelle.....
That's racist. But that aside, Brian does have a great tan.
He owes homosexuals everywhere an apology. There are some things they won’t do.
Pray for America
Lot less stress in H wood too. Now if we could get him to resign....oooops that would mean Biden, well get him to resign too.....oooops that means Pelosi....were doomed!
If he did this on the street or on the yard williams would have to throw down or else walk behind him like a good little ho.
