President Obama jabbed at lawmakers on Saturday, jokingly thanking them for taking time from their schedules to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington.
“Congress and I have certainly had our differences, yet I’ve tried to be civil, to not take any cheap shots,” said Obama in his humorous address at the annual event.
“That’s why I want to especially thank all the members who took a break from their exhausting schedule of not passing any laws to be here tonight,” he joked.
Obama has been sharply critical of the Republican-led House, often blaming a “do-nothing” Congress of failing to pass measures to boost employment.
