Obama Jokes That There Could Be Another 'Pot Smoking Socialist' In The White House

President Barack Obama joked on Saturday that one potential 2016 candidate for president could continue his legacy in the White House at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.

“Bernie Sanders might run. I like Bernie. Bernie’s an interesting guy. Apparently some folks want to see a pot-smoking socialist in the White House,” Obama said, referring to the Vermont senator’s interest in a campaign for the White House in 2016. “We could get a third Obama term after all. It could happen.”
