President Obama borrowed a page from Kobe Bryant last night as he finished off the White House Correspondents Dinner. The POTUS had the crowd eating from the palm of his hands as he addressed them for the final time of his presidency and will likely be one of the final big gatherings before he leaves office. The President closed his speech with “Obama Out” and even went all out with the mic drop. Kobe Bryant must have been watching from home because he responded on twitter shortly after.
