Obama has been known to wade into some testy waters when delivering jokes during his speeches at the event over his two terms in office - and this year's event was no different.&#xa0;In fact, the jokes got a bit sharper.

'Obama out:' President literally drops the mic after one final amazing White House Correspondents' Dinner speech

<p><span>On Saturday night, a technical glitch made the world miss one of President Barack Obama's punchlines at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.</span></p>
<p>Obama was joking about <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/george-bush-vladimir-putin-dog-2014-4" target="_blank">President George W. Bush's recent foray into painting</a>, and said he planned to do the same after he leaves office in two years. The punchline is - well, that he's not so good. But the slide never showed up on the screen.</p>
<p>NBC's Peter Alexander tweeted out the missing punchline Monday morning:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p>The punchline America missed: finally, the elusive <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23WHCD&amp;src=hash">#WHCD</a> slide showing off Obama's work of art. <a href="http://t.co/HRUAOQ6iFm">pic.twitter.com/HRUAOQ6iFm</a></p>
- Peter Alexander (@PeterAlexander) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterAlexander/statuses/463283578810286081">May 5, 2014</a></blockquote>
<script async="" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script>
<p><span>Obama played it off well during his speech.</span></p>
<p><span></span><span>"George W. Bush took up painting after he left office, which inspired me to take up my own artistic side," he said. </span></p>
<p><span>"I'm sure we've got a shot of this," he said to laughter, once it was clear there were technical difficulties. "Maybe not.  The joke doesn't work without the slide. Oh well. Assume that it was funny."</span></p>

Spelling and grammar remain as they were in the tweets:</span></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;" data-textannotation-id="4f268499aca966db5bb4373d6e608f31">"Brett speaking only for myself I agree with your point that the principle of peaceful, non-violent protest and the observance of the rule of law is of utmost importance in any society.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;" data-textannotation-id="4f268499aca966db5bb4373d6e608f31">MLK, Gandhi, Mandela, and all great opposition leaders throughout history have always preached this proper precept.
