US President Barack Obama told this year's Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night that he's bringing a new attitude to the final quarter of his presidency: "Bucket!"
"After the midterm elections, my advisers asked me, 'Mr. President, do you have a bucket list?'" he told those attending the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents' Association.
"And I said, well, I have something that rhymes with bucket list ..."
"Take executive action on immigration? Bucket!"
The correspondents' association dinner is the night the president does stand-up comedy to raise money for scholarships for young journalists - and provides tongue-in-cheek payback for those already on the job as well as political opponents.
The dinner helps fund scholarships and awards that recognise journalists.
