President Barack Obama is attending the Alfalfa Club dinner, an annual black-tie event of the capital’s political and business leaders. It is the second club dinner the president is addressing in four years.
Obama is at the dinner at a hotel near the White House with his wife, Michelle.
The club’s only mission is to put on the steak and lobster dinner and give political leaders a chance to share jokes and make humorous speeches. As in past years, the dinner was closed to the media.
