When President Obama held the final press conference of his first term yesterday at the White House, he discussed important issues that will shape the beginning of his second term, such as the upcoming fight over debt ceiling and the potential for an assault weapons ban.

But things got a bit personal when one reporter asked about his social skills (or lack thereof). The president responded, "Most people who know me know I'm a pretty friendly guy. And I like a good party."

Now that his first term is coming to an end, I thought it would be appropriate to look back on some of President Obama's funniest jokes from the past four years. Because he's going to need his sense of humor to get through the next four.
