Hollywood celebrities aren't usually seen mingling with Washington's elite, but Saturday night was an exception that comes every year.
Hollywood celebrities, journalists and government officials came together in Washington Saturday for an evening of snickers on the annual White House Correspondents Dinner.
President Barack Obama addressed the crowd within the Washington Hilton hotel, taking a moment to joke about his similarities with the presumed Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.
"We both think about our wives as our other halves, and the polls show to an alarmingly insulting extent that the yank people agree," he said. "We also both have degrees from Harvard. i've one, he has two. What a snob."
