President Barack Obama addressed the group in the Washington Hilton Hotel, taking a quick moment to make fun of himself. "Four years ago I looked like this. Today I look like this. And four years from now I will look like this." He also joked about his similarities with the presumed Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.
"We both think of our wives as our better halves, and polls show to an alarmingly insulting extent the American people agree. We also both have degrees from Harvard. I have one. He has two. What a snob."
This year's featured comedian was Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC television's late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Kimmel took several hard jabs. He made light of the president's approval rating this election year. "You know there's a term for guys like President Obama, probably not two terms. But…"
He even used actress Sofía Vergara to joke about the Secret Service prostitution scandal plaguing Washington. "Sofía is from Colombia. This is what women look like in Colombia. What do you expect the Secret Service to do?"
Hollywood celebrities attending the event included George Clooney, Kim Kardashian and Steven Spielberg.
Proceeds from the dinner go towards scholarships for aspiring journalists and awards for excellence in the profession.好莱坞名人，各种记者和政府官员周六欢聚华盛顿，参加一年一度的白宫通讯界晚宴。
总统巴拉克•奥巴马在华盛顿希尔顿酒店发表演讲，稍事自嘲了一番。“四年前的我是这样的，如今的我是这样的，四年后的我会是这样的。”他还拿自己与共和党总统候选人米特•罗姆尼作比，调侃他们俩的共同点。
“我们都认为自己的另一半比自己优秀，而且民意调查也表明美国民众对此深表认同。我们都是哈佛毕业的。我有一个学位，而他是双学位。他也太自命不凡了。”
今年主打的喜剧人物当属吉米•坎摩尔，他是美国广播公司电视台深夜脱口秀“吉米•坎摩尔直播秀”的当家主持。坎摩尔屡次痛击政事，嘲讽今年总统选举的支持率。“知道吗，像奥巴马总统这样的人都有一个任期，可能没有第二个。但是…”
他甚至借用女星索菲•维加拉来调侃令特勤局头痛不已的召妓丑闻。“索菲娅是哥伦比亚人。哥伦比亚的女人都这样。你还指望特勤局能怎样？”
当晚参加宴会的好莱坞名人有乔治•克鲁尼，金•卡戴珊，还有史蒂文•斯皮尔伯格。
本次晚宴的收入将作为未来记者的奖学金以及杰出记者的奖励。
