Takes It, Too - "Last year was rough. Sheesh. At one point, things got so bad, the 47 percent called Mitt Romney to apologize."   (Photo: Olivier Douliery-Pool/Getty Images)

Midterms on Their Minds - "Now that it’s 2014, Washington is obsessed on the midterms. Folks are saying that with my sagging poll numbers, my fellow Democrats don’t really want me campaigning with them. And I don’t think that’s true — although I did notice the other day that Sasha needed a speaker at career day, and she invited Bill Clinton. I was a little hurt by that."

Girl Talk - "Both sides are doing whatever it takes to win the ruthless game. Republicans — this is a true story — Republicans actually brought in a group of consultants to teach their candidates how to speak to women. This is true. And I don’t know if it will work with women, but I understand that America’s teenage boys are signing up to run for the Senate in droves."   (Photo: Olivier Douliery-Pool/Getty Images)

This One's for You, Birthers - "Just last month, a wonderful story — an American won the Boston Marathon for first time in 30 years. Which was inspiring and only fair, since a Kenyan has been president for the last six. Had to even things out."   (Photo:  Olivier Douliery-Pool/Getty Images)

Something to Think About - "Michelle and I watched the Olympics. We cannot believe what these folks do — death-defying feats. Haven’t seen somebody pull a 180 that fast since Rand Paul dis-invited that Nevada rancher from this dinner. As a general rule, things don’t end well if the sentence starts, 'Let me tell you something I know about the Negro.' You don’t really need to hear the rest of it. Just a tip for you — don’t start your sentence that way."    (Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images for TIME)

Reefer Madness - "Speaking of Rand Paul, Colorado legalized marijuana this year, an interesting social experiment. I do hope it doesn’t lead to a whole lot of paranoid people who think that the federal government is out to get them and listening to their phone calls. That would be a problem."     (Photo: AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)

They're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone - "And speaking of conservative heroes, the Koch brothers bought a table here tonight. But, as usual, they used a shadowy right-wing organization as a front. Hello, Fox News. I’m just kidding. Let’s face it, Fox, you’ll miss me when I’m gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya."     (Photo: Olivier Douliery-Pool/Getty Images)
