The annual black-tie banquet is an exclusive gathering of many of Washington's business and political elite.
"You've heard it from the pundits:  'Obama is cloistered in the White House.' 'He's aloof.' 'He's in the bubble.' He's not connecting,'"
said Obama. "And that’s why one of my big goals this year was to get out and be among every day, ordinary Americans -- like the men and women of the Alfalfa Club."

"Speaker Boehner, it is good to see you at the head table. I know how badly Eric Cantor wanted your seat," he said.
"John, I want you to know:  I am eager to work with members of Congress to be entertaining tonight. But if Congress is unwilling to cooperate, I will be funny without them," he added.
