Watch President Obama & His "Anger Translator" Go To Work At The White House Correspondent's Dinner

Watch President Obama & His "Anger Translator" Go To Work At The White House Correspondent's Dinner

Perhaps you've been acquainted with Luther -- President Obama's so-called "anger-translator" -- via Comedy Central's sketch show Key & PeeleTypically, the translator (played by Keegan-Michael Key) is employed to aid in delivering the implicit, more agro meanings of his oratories. Saturday night, with all of the eyes of media fixed upon him at annual White House Correspondent's Dinner, the POTUS was joined by his translator (who I suppose represents the "blacker" voice of our presumably restrained commander-in-chief) to take on opposition from the conservative arm of the government in a speech that, while hilarious in most parta, disassembled his staunchest critiques. Tackling everyone from environmental truthers, who childishly throw snowballs in Congress instead of engaging in a fact-based discussion, to Fox News itself (well represented at the dinner) who insist on continuing their campaign of misinformation for their aging, overwhelmingly white, viewership. It was another all-class outing from the president, and something a little less than that for his translator, but by the time all was said and done, Obama's frustrations no longer needed a buffer. Hold on to your lily-white butts. Watch President Obama and his anger translator disassemble the right-wing at the White House Correspondent's Dinner below.
