Speaking at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, D.C., last night President Barack Obama told the Washington press corps that he and they have “always shared the same goal to root our public discourse in the truth” and that he has “always appreciated the role that you have all played as equal partners in reaching these goals.”
Obama will leave office next January, and this was the last White House Correspondents Dinner he will attend while in office.
“I know that there are times that we’ve had differences and that’s inherent in our institutional roles,” said Obama. “It is true of every president and his press corps. But we’ve always shared the same goal to root our public discourse in the truth, to open the doors of this democracy, to do whatever we can to make our country and our world more free and more just. And I’ve always appreciated the role that you have all played as equal partners in reaching these goals.”
