Obama kills at White House Correspondents dinner

President Barack Obama took advantage of his chance to roast himself and critics last night at the annual White House Correspondents dinner.

The WHCA dinner has become a tradition since 1920, and 13 presidents have attended since Calvin Coolidge first attended in 1924. The event, that used to feature singing and big-name performers has since taken the form of a roast.

In recent years, the event has fallen short due to major national tragedies, such as the Oklahoma City bombing, the Siege at Waco, Texas, the Columbine shooting, and the Virginia Tech Massacre. Another tragedy almost marred this year's event, when New York City police discovered a car bomb in Times Square. The police were able to diffuse the bomb before it detonated.

Along with President Obama, Jay Leno performed a skit that many considered to pale in comparison to President Obama's. Above is the full-video of both President Obama and Jay Leno's stand-up at the dinner. Enjoy!
