TITLE:'I'm not the young Muslim socialist I used to be!' Obama blasts his critics and even mocks Michelle's hair at Correspondents' Dinner

He presents jokes ranging from his wife's hair to Michelle Bachmann and CNN's reporting mistakes

Controversially jokes he thought Buzzfeed was something he did in college and says he's no longer a 'strapping young Muslim socialist'

Followed by Conan O'Brien who says Boehner looks like tanning mom and that Rahm Emanuel looks like Stewie from Family Guy

Pictures of him with Michelle-style bangs, quips about Jay-Z and sideswipes at the media and his political foes helped Barack Obama win laughs at this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The traditional send-up speech saw the President earn some laughter at his own expense but also land some funny blows against the media and the Republican Party.

He said his advisers said he should stick to the traditional format and make jokes knocking himself down a peg or two.

He added: 'After four and a half years how many pegs are there left.'

'I still make rookie mistakes,' he told the 3,000 strong audience. 'Like, I’m out in California, we’re at a fundraiser, we’re having a nice time and I happened to mention that Kamala Harris is the best looking attorney general in the country. As you might imagine, I got trouble when I got back home. Who knew Eric Holder was so sensitive?'

'And then there’s the Easter Egg Roll, which is just supposed to be a nice event with the kids. I got out on the basketball court, took 22 shots, made 2 of them.

Yeah, but most of the country thinks he is kidding unfortunately. There is no other explanation of how someone so hateful to the American Dream could be elected, reelected and maintains a reasonable level of acceptance.

It truly is meant to be humorous; note that he didn’t say “fascist”.

You’re not young anymore, but the rest still fits.

“:’I’m not the young Muslim socialist I used to be!’ “

Don’t be modest. Of course you are. No growth and a need to rule.
