It is traditional at this dinner (I think it's annual) for president's to poke fun at themselves. Everyone does it, it's what they do at it.
While I may feel it is in poor taste, the fact that it happened doesn't surprise me.
It's hard to joke about things like that - usually, IIRC, the prez pokes fun at his foibles and problems, but I am not sure if war was ever a topic of jokes at this event in the past.
Adn I;ve had too many beers to do the research at the moment...
thanks,
alarik

They will say the issue is too serious to joke about, and they will be right. On the other hand those that support the President will be unable to honestly defend these comments because they don't consider the situation to be one that is appropriate to ridicule.

Can someone fill me in on the joke?
