US President Barack Obama laughed at himself and others too at the recently concluded annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. He took playful digs at his frequent use of a teleprompter.

Well when he was poking fun at himself then how can he leave any republican out of hit. So Barack made former Vice President Dick Cheney his target of the day and joked on him in a good spirit.

Obama said,”Dick Cheney could not make the dinner because he is writing his memoir, How to shoot friends and interrogate people.” He said this with reference to the incident when Mr. Cheney once accidentally shot and injured a friend while on a hunting trip while he has robustly defended the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

The dinner was also attended by celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Sting, Steven Spielberg and Jon Bon Jovi to raise money for charity.
