Who will Obama poke fun at during reporters’ gala?

Apr 28, 2012 05:40 PM

President Barack Obama mocked Donald Trump’s White House ambitions in biting remarks at last year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

So what’s he have in store this year?

The answer comes late Saturday night when Obama addresses a crowd of journalists, government officials and celebrities. At the event, presidents usually poke fun of Washington institutions and other politicians.

The featured comedian is Jimmy Kimmel, host of the ABC late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!’’

Proceeds from the dinner go toward scholarships for aspiring journalists and awards for distinction in the profession.

This year’s award winners are ABC’S Jake Tapper, Scott Wilson of The Washington Post and reporting teams from Politico and The Associated Press.
