Wanda Sykes entertained guests at the dinner, poking fun at the guest of honor - President Obama. In particular, the comedian referenced his recent gift of an iPhone to the Queen when he visited the United Kingdom.

"What are you going to give the Pope, a Bluetooth?" Sykes asked according to the Associated Press.

The comedian also threw a barb Michelle's way, making reference to when the First Lady patted the Queen on the back during the couple's visit.

"Like she just slid into home plate - way to go, queen!" Wanda said, according to the AP.

And President Obama tried out a few lines too. He reportedly poked fun at himself over his use of Teleprompters.

    Yes, it's great that Obama is the first biracial President but I can't abide people fawning over him and his family. The Obama's are praised for their parenting, how they dress and for going out on dates or family trips among other things. They're no better parents than any of our former Presidents and their wives. They are mortals. I won't idolize politicia

    I didn't miss the subtle but unmissable message he conveyed by not wearing the traditional black bowtie. He clearly has no respect for the accumulated traditions of his office. I'm NOT referring to political differences here AT ALL- just the fact that he seems bent on changing anything he possibly can to distance himself from middle America. He's odd & NOT AT A

    Mr. President, why did u sign off on airforce one buzzing lower Manhattan? Why did you get rid of school vouchers? Why are you releasing Gitmo detainees in our cities and forcing us to pay their welfare? Why did you refuse Prayer Day but bowed to the Saudi King? Do you even know who Winston Churchill was? What did Rahm mean by "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste"?

    This was a fundraiser to feed the hungry. I saw a picture of MO serving food at a homeless shelter and guess what. The 1st person in line to eat was taking a pic of her with his camera phone. If your hungry get a job. If you want to go to school save and have a payment plan. The government should not be a free handout. Food stamps, and welfare should not be an option. have kids feed them.

    Taylor, actually you're the idiot. Do you really think he is "lame" enough to want to "qualify" as a celeb. Have you considered that most people and not just Americans find Obama refreshing. A real change from what our country has seen. Taylor you're probably only comfortable seeing those in office who look and think exactly like you. Well w
