For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Was Obama mocking himself last night, or publicly patting himself on the back?

When President Obama made his debut as the nation's Stand-Up-in-Chief last night -- the star attraction at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner -- no one in his administration was safe from his one-liners...Not even, it turned out, himself: "During the second 100 days, we will design, build and open a library dedicated to my first 100 days." And: "My next 100 days will be so successful, I will complete them in 72 days. And on the 73rd day, I will rest."

I thought he was disgracefully bragging -- how 'bout you?
