President Barack Obama took at his critics and also himself during a self-deprecating speech last night at the 2014 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The Commander-in-Chief noted his waning popularity on multiple occasions, while also mocking CNN for its coverage of the lost Malaysian airplane and Fox News for its insistence that he’s really from Kenya.
Check out Obama’s best quotes, zingers and one-liners below:

One thing we’ve been unable to agree on is unemployment insurance. Republicans refuse to extend it. I’m beginning to think they have a point. If you want to get paid while not working, you should have to run for Congress just like everybody else.
