Obama Jokes Hillary Clinton 'Won't Stop Drunk-Texting Me From Cartagena' (VIDEO)

At the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night, President Barack Obama joked that Hillary Clinton "won't stop drunk-texting me from Cartagena."

"Despite many obstacles, much has changed during my time in office," the president said at the annual event. "Four years ago, I was locked in a brutal primary battle with Hillary Clinton. Four years later she won't stop drunk-texting me from Cartegana."

Earlier this month, Clinton was captured on camera drinking a beer in Cartagena, Colombia, where she traveled to attend the Summit of the Americas. It was just before the trip that a striking photo of the secretary of state texting aboard a military C-17 plane on her way to Libya gave way to "Texts from Hillary" -- an Internet meme sensation.

Does Hillary have a drinking problem we're not aware of?

"You need to wonder why the secret service agents dont give a sh@@ about this president". Really? I wonder no such thing, and neither does anyone I know. What I do wonder about is the level of h@tred and negativity of people like yourself towards this POTUS. It is pretty pathological in nature.

The Joke regarding the USSS was IMHO quite gentle, and due to recent events, may have some truth to it regarding "new rules" Hillary has a great sense of humor
and probably LOL'd if she was watching. Frankly I think that every attendee of this annual event are like celebrities who attend a Don Rickles show. They go hoping to be targets to be belittled and abused!!!!!

Hillary is one of the greatest people in this cabinet. I am very sure she can enjoy a beer and take a joke. Lighten up people.

Seriously, she has been so much up to now that she can't take a joke. I bet she wrote the joke herself. Humans run our government the last time I checked, with senses of humor, indignation and petty bs. git over it.

It was funny, given the recent events featuring Hillary - the Texts from Hillary, and the Cartagena photo.

I could not believe that an educated person would make fun of a person in his cabinet, he did that when she was runniing against him, but now???? Again, lack of leadership lack of leadership H Clinton 2012, Ms. Clinton is an outstand LADY who I myself feel is the only one in the WH that knows what is going on there with our USA.

It was a joke. She's working her butt off, doing a great job, and he knows it. She has a sense of humor, and is not thin skinned.

Just one grand partying on tax payers dollars.

Yea that's a big problem not a trillion dollars attacking the wrong country. Way to focus on completely the wrong things.

But, when W was yucking it up with his peeps, joking about never finding the WMDs he lied us into war over, that was a hoot, right?

[Renee Johnson]

agreed, and I am sure the families of the soldiers that died in that lie of a war is laughing too..thanks Bush for spending tax payer money on a lie and for killing a third of the US in the process!!! Good times right!!

Here is "The Situation".
Isn't there always a little truth in every statement!
Hey!!! What's the deal with Hillary always being surrounded by other women when she is filmed at social functions?

[NWinTweener]

What is your point?

I realize it was an attempt at humor, but I found it offensive. Saying something was a joke is not a pass for any comment. Racist jokes are offensive and they are jokes. This makes the Secretary of State, one of the most powerful people in the world, sound like a ditzy, drunk, schoolgirl with a crush on that oh so irresistible prez. Humor is a funny and risky business. If I were Obama, I would not want to poke the legions of voters who were and are fiercely loyal to Hillary. Just because the Republicans seem to want to brand and corral women, does not mean Democrats are above displaying great disrespect for women.

Laughter is good for your health and keeps you young. Hillary has a good sense of humor and she lauhed it up.

The Republicans are really showing their desperation at this bit of fun here.

Mothers: If you're married to an arch Conservative, seriously consider making an out-of-town reservation NOW for the first couple of days after the election this November. There's no telling how many of these vicious guys will use the loss as an excuse to wipe out their family and take to the hills!

Whaaat? Is he supposed to stick to starting unnecessary wars and looting the Treasury for his buddies like his predecessor?

[emrogers]

08:55 AM on 04/30/2012

Yea, attacking the wrong country costing a trillion dollars, 4,500 soldiers killed, 100,000 Iraqi civilians...that doesn't belittle the Office. Yep - another clueless regressive.

You do realize more people have died in wars started by democrats then Republians. 93% under democrats.
