The Alaksa governor arrived at the annual Alfalfa Dinner for Washington's political and business elite in an elegant black silk dress. A partygoer tells ET that Palin gave the president a lift of the eyebrow and showed she was a good sport while laughing at jokes during the dinner. Obama said he was a little surprised to see her at the event and gave her kudos for braving the crowd, the partygoer said.
Many of Obama's jokes were aimed at his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, according to excerpts of the roast released by the White House. "It was actually Rahm's idea to do the swearing-in ceremony again," he said. "Of course, for Rahm, every day is a swearing-in ceremony," Obama said about Emanuel, who is known for sometimes using foul language.
"Rahm Emanuel is a real sweetheart," Obama joked. "Every week the guy takes a little time away to give back to the community. Just last week he was at a local school, teaching profanity to poor children."
