(Video) Pres. Obama Upstages Leno At WH Dinner

Although Tonight Show host Jay Leno was supposed to be the headline comic at last night’s anual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, it was President Obama who served up some of the night’s best jokes.

The president got in more than a few good-natured jabs at Republicans:

You might have heard we passed a health care bill. And some Republicans have suggested that the bill contains a few “secret” provisions. That’s ridiculous. There aren’t a few secret provisions in the health care plan. There are like hundreds. And tonight, in the interest of transparency, I’d like to share a couple. Let’s see here. This provision is called the “Bay State of Denial.” It reads, “This bill shall cover short-term memory loss related to the passage of Massachusetts health care reform.” Good news, Mitt, your condition is covered! This next provision is called the “Jersey Shore-Up.” It reads, “The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill: Snooki, J-Woww, the Situation, and House Minority Leader John Boehner.” This provision ought to put a common misconception to rest. It says right here: “If you do not like the ruling of your death panel, you can appeal it.”

We’ve got the video for you, in case you missed it.
