The president honors Richard Sherman

[Mr. Tacoma]

DISCLAIMER: I don't care what your politics are and this isn't a political thread.

Tonight was the 100th annual White House Correspondents Dinner where traditionally the president gets to be a stand up comedian for the night. Richard Sherman was in attendance and the president mentioned he was there then shouted "DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT ME! I'M THE BEST PRESIDENT IN THE GAME!"

I've watched the WHCD for years since most presidents tend to be skilled public speakers I think it's fun and strange to watch them do a stand up routine. Regardless of your politics you have to admit it's pretty awesome for the President of the United States to drop a Richard Sherman joke!

Very cool. Sherman's become pretty famous over the span of about 2 years.

Sherman looked good in that room full of stuffed shirts.

It was cool to have Joel McHale, a UW guy, as the MC too. Lots of Seattle connections at this dinner.
