Saturday will see the final White House Correspondent's Association Dinner of the Obama administration, where the President will take the jokes from comedians and press, before dishing out much himself. In the last 7 years, Obama has made jokes about his place of birth, even taking a jibe at Donald Trump who was present in the audience!
