Watch Obama Tear Into The Press With This Brilliant Comedy Routine [Video]

The chance for Obama to make fun of his critics comes once a year, and he didn't let this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner go by without getting stuck in.

We know Obama isn’t afraid of taking a few subtle digs at the press, especially those at Fox News, but the president stepped it up a notch during his White House Correspondents’ Dinner address.

Obama enlisted the help of comedian Keegan-Michael Key, one half of the brilliant sketch show Key and Peele, and let rip with a few well-placed jibes. Not only did he mock his adversaries, however, but even had some fun making light of Hillary Clinton. This from Sky:

The White House hopeful recently made a road trip to a key early-voting state in her bid to win the party’s nomination.

Noting some Americans are living in a time of uncertainty, Mr Obama joked: “For example, I have one friend just a few weeks ago, she was making millions of dollars a year and she’s now living out of a van in Iowa.”

His most stinging barbs still came at the expense of the right-wing propaganda-machine  news outlet Fox, who shifted awkwardly in their seats but took it all in good spirits.

The Obama anger-translator sketch is a regular on the Key and Peele show, which stars Jordan Peele as the frustrated president. No mention of the show would be complete without a link to two of my favourite old ladies, Georgina and Esther, and their ongoing feud with Satan (HERE, seriously NSFW heads-up).

Tell it like it is Barack, they can’t vote you out now my friend.
