President Obama Takes On Rand Paul At White House Correspondent Dinner (VIDEO)

by Austin Petersen

Free from the worries of having to be re-elected, President Barack Obama took shots at nearly everyone in a speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner last weekend. Setting his sights on Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky, the president jabbed him over support of Cliven Bundy saying: “As a general rule, things don’t end well if the sentence starts, ‘let me tell you something I know about the negro.'”

Obama then went on to tease Paul about the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and the fact that the paranoia inducing drug might cause one to question whether the NSA might be spying on American’s phone calls.
