After a joke that Barack Obama made at the expense of Sen Mitch McConnell at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner:
Of course, even after I’ve done all this, some folks still don’t think I spend enough time with Congress. “Why don’t you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?” they ask. Really? (Laughter.) Why don’t you get a drink with Mitch McConnell? (Laughter and applause.) I’m sorry. I get frustrated sometimes.
When asked about President Obama’s joke Sen. Mitch McConnell said, “I’m shocked. He’s obviously not seeing my soft side”
A little while later on Twitter, Team Mitch posted this pic:
