President Barack Obama took aim at his Republican opponents and his gaffe-prone vice president on Saturday in a satirical speech that included a roast of his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her recent problems with email.
Obama joined Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a potential Republican contender for the 2016 presidential election, and Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia for the annual Gridiron dinner, an evening of song and skits making light of major players in US politics.
Obama joked that his reputation for being a tech-savvy president had now been eclipsed by his one-time foe Clinton, who has come under fire for using a private email account for her work as the nation's top diplomat.
"I am so far behind," he said to laughter.
"I even have Hillary's private email," Walker said. "It goes right to her campaign headquarters. You know, it's hillaryclinton@wallstreet.com," he said.
Obama, feeling loose with less than two years left in office, noted criticism that he had taken a "selfie" photo in a viral video promoting his health insurance program, but he turned the tables on Republican senators who sent a letter to Iran warning them against a nuclear deal Obama hopes to secure.
Obama also ribbed Vice President Joe Biden for his touchy-feely habits. Biden drew criticism for massaging the shoulders of the wife of incoming Defense Secretary Ash Carter at his swearing-in ceremony.
Obama jabbed Walker for dodging a question during a recent trip to London on whether he believed in evolution.
Obama came out in favor of gay marriage in 2012 after many years of what he described as a personal evolution in his thinking about the subject.
