I doubt it was intended. Whatever they were laughing about u can tell Obama caught himself. But what was so funny?

It's because that is exactly what President George W. Bush said about ex-director of FEMA and full time tool, Michael Brown

satire intended, or reference intended, but there was no pun.

Or, as they said in The Producers:

Roger De Bris: Ah, Bialystock and Bloom, I presume! Heh heh, forgive the pun!
Leo Bloom: What pun?
Max Bialystock: Shut up, he thinks he's witty.

...has become a funny line. I think President Obama said it on purpose (pun intended) because he has a great sense of humor.
