President Barack Obama poked fun at one-time rival and now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington.
“Four years ago I was locked in a brutal primary battle with Hillary Clinton. Four years later, she won't stop drunk-texting me from Cartagena,” said Obama in his address to laughter from the audience.
Clinton was photographed drinking beer and dancing in a club in Cartagena, Colombia earlier this month.
The secretary of state was attending a weekend summit there with the president and 33 other heads of state from countries in the Western Hemisphere.
Clinton has shown humor about her image in recent weeks, acknowledging a popular Tumblr blog, Texts From Hillary, that presents faux text messages over photos of her texting.
In a submission to the site, Clinton thanked the blog's creators for “the many LOLZ.”
Clinton, who lost the 2008 Democratic presidential contest to Obama, has also been the focus of speculation on a future 2016 bid.
