WASHINGTON (AP) — Getting older changes a guy, President Barack Obama says, and he admits he's getting crankier.

"Next week I'm signing an executive order to get off my lawn," Obama joked Saturday night at the Gridiron Club and Foundation's annual dinner. On top of that, the nation's graying chief executive says he's having trouble now with his morning cup of joe. "Coffee really disagrees with me these days," he says, "which is why John Boehner just invited coffee to address the joint House."

Jan 30, 2015 - “As much as I like coming here, I like going home even more,” Walker said in Washington, D.C., calling it, “68 square miles surrounded by reality.’

And defends Obama from Guiliani’s correct assessment, in the snakiest, slimiest annual event in DC.

Walker needs the general population to see him as Presidential. Being seen as a guest, on the same stage, in the same setting, is an easy way to do it. Unfortunately that means playing nice.

This thread is totally bizarre. What's with all the Walker hate? It has a peculiar, paranoid flavor. Another year and a half of this to look forward to? Sheesh.

I didn’t find any of those jokes from either side humerous. Is Benghazi funny to any of the families that lost their sons?

I find the fact that Walker participated in this troublesome. Our Constitution lies in shreds, people are out of work and he thinks that yucking it up with Obama and friends is a good campaign move? I guess I lost my sense of humor over the past 6 years.

“What’s with all the Walker hate?”

Do you understand the difference between criticism and hate?

Weird thing is, 95% of Americans have never heard of the Gridiron Roast, and 95% of the attendees were liberals. Walker expected to get his message out by speaking?? Bizarre.
