President Obama's Final State Dinner Was Pretty Much a Comedy Show

Mar 11 2016 - 3:18pm

At Thursday's state dinner honoring Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Barack Obama not only looked dapper [1], but he also had some serious zingers. When addressing the White House's Canadian visitors, Obama good-naturedly poked fun at the current set of US presidential hopefuls. His first target was Canadian-born GOP candidate Ted Cruz. After a touching introduction about how Canada and the United States allow citizens to work hard and achieve their dreams, he cheekily added: "Where else could a boy born in Calgary grow up to run for president of the United States?"

The president also included a sassy allusion to Donald Trump [2]'s campaign promises, and Trudeau was just as funny with his Justin Bieber quip. Give the video a watch and prepare to giggle!
