President Barack Obama set the Internet ablaze late Saturday night
with an epic stunt-a literal mic drop at the close of his White House
Correspondents Dinner speech.
"And with that I just have two more words to say: Obama out," the president said at the close of his humor-laden speech.
The black-tie event, which Mr Obama has previously joked is "a night
when Washington celebrates itself," is an annual inside-the-beltway
ritual, bringing together journalists and media moguls with Hollywood
stars and powerbrokers from Capitol Hill and beyond.
Mr Obama used his speech to- repeatedly-poke fun at Republican
presidential frontrunner Mr Trump, his wife's ageless looks and his
recent meeting with little Prince George.
Mr Trump, who has been the subject of many a joke at the dinner before, did not attend the event this year.
"You've got a room full of reporters, celebrities, cameras and he
says no. Is this dinner too tacky for the Donald?" Mr Obama joked.
The fun did not stop there. Mr Obama allowed himself several more
jabs at the real estate mogul, before eventually concluding "that's
probably enough".
"They say Donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be president.
But, in fairness, he has spent years meeting with leaders from around
the world — Miss Sweden, Miss Argentina, Miss Azerbaijan," he quipped.
But what captured millions of people across the World,and sent
Twitter into a maddening frenzy was how President Obama decided to end
his last White House Correspondents' Dinner address by dropping the mic
-- literally.
Wait for it....
Holding two fingers to his lips, he picked up his mic, then let it
dramatically drop to the ground. “With that, I have just two more words
to say: Obama out," he said.
It was the coolest Obama move of all cool Obama moves ever.
A president who rode into office on a wave of cool is going out the
same way. With his approval ratings on the rise, there has never been a
better time for Barack Obama to drop the mic and let everyone know who
the man has always been.
Check out the spectacular mic drop in the video below. I guarantee
you,it's the coolest thing you'll watch this week. Probably this year.
Damn.
