| President Obama at the White House Correspondents' Dinner President Obama joined Conan O'Brien onstage at the Washington Hilton Saturday night for the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner -- and gave his fifth address to the organization of journalists who cover the White House. In his remarks, the President poked fun at himself, as well as some of the news organizations and politicians in the room. But while everyone had a good laugh during the speech, President Obama closed his speech on a more serious note, reminding the audience of the important role the media plays in American society -- especially during times of crisis like the Boston Marathon bombings and the explosion that killed so many first responders in West, Texas. Watch the President's full remarks from the Correspondents' Dinner.
