President Obama’s speech at the White House correspondents’ dinner last Saturday is currently the most-viewed Obama public speech on YouTube, according to C-SPAN.

The video surpassed C-SPAN’s YouTube Channel video of Obama’s 2008 speech on race in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia video has over 6, 763,000 views, close to 4,000 less than the dinner video.
