Obama Pokes Fun at Himself and Opponents at Nerd Prom

The black-tie dinner, informally billed as the "nerd prom," is the biggest social event of the year for Washington media and gives presidents a chance to show a lighter side.

"I have something that rhymes with Bucket List…. Take executive action on immigration? Bucket," the president joked.

But the president poked fun at himself too, by acknowledging his aging process. "I look so old, John Boehner's already invited Netanyahu to speak at my funeral," Obama said to a crowd full of laughter.

The so-called "Nerd Prom" was hosted by Cecily Strong, a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" and brought journalists, politicians and celebrities together in the same room such as actress Gabourey Sidibe, reality star Brody Jenner, actress Kerry Washington and real estate mogul Donald Trump.
