MOSCOW (Sputnik) — US President Barack Obama made a joke that Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton would be the next president of the country.
"Next year at this time, someone else will be standing here in this very spot — and it’s anyone’s guess who she will be," Obama said in a speech at his last White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.
"You’ve got to admit it though, Hillary trying to appeal to young voters is a little bit like your relative that just signed up for Facebook… ‘Dear America, did you get my poke? Is it appearing on your wall? I’m not sure I’m using this right. Love, Aunt Hillary,’" Obama joked.
