Referring to how such stars perform "flawlessly, night after night," Obama laughed, "I can't always say the same,” referring to his lackluster debate performance against Republican candidate Mitt Romney in Denver, Colorado last week.

The President also joked about Romney's pledge to cut subsidies to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). "Somebody's finally cracking down on Big Bird," said Obama. "Elmo's made a run for the border.”

After the concert, Pres. Obama delivered remarks to 150 supporters who paid $25,000 each to join him for dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s WP24.

Obama has yet to learn that when you are a JOKE, as he is, making jokes about yourself is oxymoronic. This man makes jokes while our great country slips deeper into an abyss. He is a true tragedy inflicted upon the USA.

Keep showing me these liberal lapdogs! I will most likely never go to the movies, watch their shows or buy their music again!! I guess what most of those "fans" do not realize is that these celebrities HAVE MONEY! They don't care about the rest of us - they don't care if gas is $5.00 @ gallon - this stinky economy doesn't affect them AT ALL!! Now, if we all STOPPED going to their movies, concerts, etc - then they might feel a pinch in their wallets, but they don't care! Remember - they are the "1%" that Occupy Wall Street protesters are complaining about!!! Open you minds & educate yourselves on the issues & what is REALLY happening.

ROMNEY/RYAN 2012! THEY ARE OUR ONLY HOPE & CHANGE!
