President Barack Obama mocked his potential 2012 GOP rivals — and poked fun at himself — while Mitch Daniels got in his own shot at Sarah Palin at Saturday night’s 126th annual Gridiron Club dinner of Washington politicos and journalists.
Obama, in his first address to the group as president, pounced on Haley Barbour’s weight – by highlighting first lady Michelle Obama’s efforts to end obesity in the country


“Haley, when Michelle said you should run, she didn’t mean for president,” he cracked.
The president didn’t spare Tim Pawlenty either.

There's some surprisingly funny stuff in there from both sides.

Daniels also joked that the whole rotator-cuff surgery story was a ruse.


He actually suffered a broken rib flying to the National Governors Association conference, because, “I sat in a middle seat between Haley Barbour and Chris Christie.”

As the righties here just love to say, get a sense of humor. It is a roast, don't like the jokes then don't listen to them, see how simple that is

This just makes me sick. It's is not funny to me. When are these adults going to actually do something positive instead of taking the negative attention off of themselves with personal ridicule of their opponents? IMHO it's so imature and hateful.
