Yes, he was - and it was all in good humor. I think the President enjoyed it the most... Rhiannon12866 Apr 2022 #2
p.s. I posted the President's "stand up," too... Rhiannon12866 Apr 2022 #3

It's rare, these days, that we get a humorous and feel good political night like this.

And Trevor, though spot on, wasn't nearly as brutal as some comedians in recent memory...

And I know that we're all in different time zones and not everyone has access to cable or even TV, so I had to find the entire speech - including the amazing stand up by Joe Biden!

He didn't come to the U.S. until 2011, but he totally "gets" American politics better than most people - not to mention that he's multi-talented, I particularly loved that got in his spot on impressions!

I've been down with flu and haven't felt up to much, but watching the president and Trevor last night made me forget about that, and everything else that we've been worrying about, and I actually laughed and smiled through the entire presentation...

Especially love his reminder at the end for journalists to do their job. Most pointed part of his speech.
Thank you.
