Diplomacy what? Barack Obama mocks Donald Trump at ‘Nerd Prom’

Washington, May 1 (ANI): Barack Obama is known for his diplomacy, but he surprisingly made Donald Trump the butt of his jokes in a speech at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night.
He also invented a few conspiracy theories of his own for his prospective 2012 GOP challengers during his speech.
But none copped more than Trump at the annual dinner — nicknamed ‘Nerd Prom’ by users of Twitter — where the media and political elite meet, reports the New York Post.
Businessman mogul Trump had questioned whether Obama was actually born in the U.S., leading to the President releasing his official birth video.
“Donald Trump is here tonight,” Obama said as Trump sat at a nearby table.
“Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate to rest than The Donald.
“Now he can get to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?” he added.
Obama also poked fun at Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty — his potential challengers for the White House. (ANI)
