Many people who attended this evening include a wide range of politicians, journalists, and celebrities Tinsel town - the annual confab is also an opportunity for the president to let down usually serious, guard professor, Obama, who now has six years of practice funny gala below the belt, did not disappoint - especially when it comes to his jabs at 2,016 potential candidates.

"Soon the first presidential contest will take place," the president said. "And I for one cannot wait to see who the Koch brothers chose."

He took a special purpose in that heavy bid for the White House. We've seen some missteps, with Jeb Bush identified himself as Hispanic, "said the president for a few laughs." It reminds me of when I identify myself as an American in 1961. " Obama also reminded the audience laugh that Texas Senator Ted Cruz denied recent man-made causes of global warming: "Ted Cruz said that denying the existence of climate change makes it like Galileo." Galileo wheels certainly revolve around the sun, "the President continued, leads to the punch line." Ted Cruz believes the earth revolves around Ted Cruz. "

The president also took aim possible 2016 candidate and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, who recently said he would not attend the wedding a close friend or relative who is gay.

"For gays and lesbians across the country answered: 'it would not be a problem," Obama said to laughter. "Do not sweat that one." On a roll with jibes targeted at the broad field of GOP presidential candidate, Obama noted that "Donald Trump here ... yet." But in the long history of presidents of biting jabs, he never restricts roasts for only his political enemies.

Obama did not spare his own party contenders in the 2016 race to the White House. And it's not just those weighing a bid for the White House that Obama impaled: he shows no mercy to the Democratic Party.

Touting improved his own track record on economic issues, the President said: Nine out of ten Americans have health insurance today. Thanks to Obama care, you no longer have to worry about losing insurance if you lose your job. "

And then the punch line: “Thank you, Senate Democrats"
