On Broadway, Obama takes a bow mocking Republicans

NEW YORK (AP) — Appearing on Broadway for one night only: Barack Obama, in a solo comedy act roasting the Republican Party.

The president left a crowd of more than 1,300 in stiches on Monday night at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, home to the hit musical “Hamilton” about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

The cast staged a special performance for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser, with Obama as the encore. Roughly 1,300 donors paid between $500 and $10,000 to attend.

Obama says according to Republicans, “everything was really good” in 2008 despite the economic crisis and other problems. He says Republicans think it was the golden age that he messed up.

Obama says the Republican candidates are glum and “really so frustrated.” He’s poking fun at those who question climate change and says: “It’s cray!”
