2013 White House Correspondents Dinner

     Saturday night was the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner. The event was hosted by Conan O'Brien, and as always was a hilarious night of politics. The dinner started with a parody of Netflix's House of Cards, featuring the show's s star Kevin Spacey, along with notable political figures such as Sen. John McCain, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer. The night continued on with a speech from President Obama, who entered to DJ Khaled's "All I do is Win". The president made several remarks that stirred the crowd with laughter, including his claim that he wasn't the "strapping young Muslim socialist he used to be".  After that host Conan O'Brien took over, made sure that he didn't leave anyone out when it came to making fun of them. The night, as always, was a resounding success and a great break from all the politics that go on in Washington.
