Jay Leno Unloads on Obama in Devastating 'Tonight Show' Monologue

Big Hollywood  "President Barack Obama is a nightmare for political comedians. He's too cool, too smart, too ... good at this whole leadership thing." 

"That was the bill of goods comedians sold us five years ago, an excuse which prevented them from mocking Obama as they did every previous Commander in Chief.
"Jay Leno wasn't buying that pile of horse manure.
"Leno has consistently tweaked Obama in his Tonight Show monologues since the early days of the president's administration, the same way Leno handled President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton."
....
"And wouldn't you know it, Leno's ratings are on the rise these days."
The ratings leader in his time slot, Leno positively crushed Letterman and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel in the just-released early May sweeps ratings.
 This Leno bit is from Newsbusters  "Jay Leno on Tuesday continued his humorous attacks on the current White House resident.
"The NBC Tonight Show host concluded a series of opening monologue jokes targeting the administration saying, “That's why President Obama holds press conferences: not to explain what's going on, to find out what's going on” "
