U.S. President Barack Obama speaks at the 2016 White House Correspondents' Association Annual Dinner
President Barack Obama reflects on his final appearance at the White House Correspondents' Association Annual Dinner. He pokes fun at himself, his relationship with the press, former Speaker of the House John Boehner, the prospective Republican and Democratic 2016 presidential candidates, and cable news channels. Obama jokes about how the job has aged him, and speculates on what he will do in retirement. A film clip is shown with John Boehner and others coaching Obama on retirement. Obama praises journalists around the world who have gone above and beyond to tell the truth while facing death and imprisonment. He concludes by saying "Obama out" and dropping the microphone. White House Correspondents' Association President Carol Lee introduces Obama and offers a toast to him.
