Obama's 'Jersey Shore' Joke Gets Laughs

President Upstages 'Tonight Show' Host Jay Leno

President Barack Obama is being dubbed the "comedian in chief" after his performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Obama cracked jokes about Vice President Joe Biden and his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.

But Republicans were the butt of many presidential punch lines.

"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."

The president also took aim at Jay Leno, saying the talk-show host was "the only person whose ratings fell more than mine."
