Obama is such a legend, the years with him has gone by way too fast
That fucking Dick Cheney joke at 10:30.
This speech is amazing, it's like he's releasing all the salt he's been accumulating over the last eight years. YOU get a jab and YOU get a jab and YOU get a jab. EVERYONE GETS A JAB!
I want Obama to start doing stand-up. Those roasts were savage af
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50235831]remember when presidents weren't pop culture whores?[/QUOTE] God forbid someone with such a high status like Obama to act as a actual human and besides being y'know, the president. Also be in favor with the younger people of the world by doing harmless things as these.
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50235831]remember when presidents weren't pop culture whores?[/QUOTE] At least this one is intentionally funny.

[QUOTE=sb27;50235851]Remember when every President ever, well every President over the past 70 or so years perhaps, would use the correspondent's dinner to lightheartedly poke fun at themselves and others? Even Bush did it.[/QUOTE] Bush had a pretty good one one year when he brought on the really REALLY good bush impersonator [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4N93jLVPIA[/media]
Wolf Blitzer was totally not amused throughout the entire night.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50235710]Seeing these makes me curious to know what a Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders press conference would look like.[/QUOTE] Trump would suck because a) he has no sense of wit and b) someone else will write all his speeches so he won't even sound like himself
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50235831]remember when presidents weren't pop culture whores?[/QUOTE] Remember when presidents weren't allowed be funny and have characteristics that define them as humans?
It'll be interesting to see how we look back on Obama in a few years. I generally like him now, but you never know.
[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;50238804] b) someone else will write all his speeches so he won't even sound like himself[/QUOTE] this happens with every president. i wouldn't be surprised if trump were to write his own speeches, however. it kind of goes with his personality.
[QUOTE=endorphinsam;50245771]this happens with every president. i wouldn't be surprised if trump were to write his own speeches, however. it kind of goes with his personality.[/QUOTE] I would be surprised to learn Trump actually has speeches written beforehand, whether by himself or others. Every sign I've seen has been that he's making up everything as he goes along.

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;50246078]mic not even plugged in 10/10 gg[/QUOTE] Microphones without cables exist you know.
[QUOTE=sa2fan;50246227]Microphones without cables exist you know.[/QUOTE] yeah, they do the microphone in Obama's video is most likely a Sennheiser handheld ( could be monacor but I doubt it ), the blocky aerial bulge on the bottom of the handle is something pretty unique to the Sennheisher handhelds. Bernie's mic on the other hand, is the very well known and instantly recognisable Shure SM58. Wireless SM58s exist, but they have a noticeably longer handle than the one in the video. So yeah, they do exist, but Bernie's isn't. [editline]fu[/editline] don't try and be sassy with me

Most of the mics you see people holding on TV are just there for effect. Obama's mic drop was also with a mic that wasn't live. It's just a joke.

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;50246078]mic not even plugged in 10/10 gg[/QUOTE] would've been better if they had just actually used the mic and switched off his lav mic for that part tbh
