Remarks by President Barack Obama at the Kennedy Center Honors Reception
December 4, 2016
Thank you so much, everybody. (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you very much. Everybody please have a seat. Thank you. (Applause.)
Well, good evening, everybody. On behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House. Over the past eight years, this has always been one of our favorite nights. And this year, I was especially looking forward to seeing how Joe Walsh cleans up – pretty good. (Laughter.)
I want to begin by once again thanking everybody who makes this wonderful evening possible, including David Rubenstein, the Kennedy Center Trustees – I’m getting a big echo back there – and the Kennedy Center President, Deborah Rutter. Give them a big round of applause. (Applause.)
We have some outstanding members of Congress here tonight. And we are honored also to have Vicki Kennedy and three of President Kennedy’s grandchildren with us here – Rose, Tatiana, and Jack. (Applause.)
