Comedian Jay Leno on Wednesday wished President Obama a Happy Birthday by making fun of him in the opening monologue of NBC's "Tonight Show."

"We want to start off by saying Happy Birthday to President Barack Obama," Leno teased.

"He is 49, which is eight points higher than his approval rating."

JAY LENO: Welcome to the "Tonight Show," and we want to start off by saying Happy Birthday to President Barack Obama. He is...

LENO: He is 49, which is eight points higher than his approval rating. Wow.

LENO: If you would like to get him a a gift, he's registered at Bed, Bath and Blame it on Bush. That's the store.

LENO: What, did you see the cake they had for him? They had a huge cake. A little different than most birthday parties. What he did was he didn't blow out the candles, he just taxed them until they finally gave up and went out on their own.

The King won’t take kindly to being mocked.

“Bed, Bath, and Blame it on Bush”. Not bad.

I wonder what the crowd reaction was to these jokes?

The Devil does not like to be mocked.

Sounded to me like they were laughing.

Despite Leno’s liberal tendencies, he mocks anyone and everyone. Certainly better than that stiff, mean spirited Letterman.

Obama is 49, which is 3 inches less than the diameter of his wife’s butt.

He does not mock Obama nearly as much as he mocked Bush. Leno is better than most, but still part of the problem. He needs to skewer Obama and other liberals with same intensity he skewered Bush, Palin, Cheney etc. Until then, I am not impressed.

All those candles, he was starting to look nervous too, until Rahm Emmanuel told him there were no crosses anywhere in sight.

[RIM shot!] Hey folks, I’ll be here all weekend, try the veal!

I thought Obama was the one whom the comedians wouldn’t have any joke material.

Gosh, did you actually count how many times Leno made fun of Bush vs. Obama? Man, you must have a lot of time on your hands.

“...mean spirited Letterman.”

I hate him. I despise him really. From long ago, I can’t stand him. He is entirely self-absorbed and rude to his guests. He’s a disgrace.

Now, the one I really like now is that Craig Ferguson, with his Scottish accent I could watch him read the phone book and be amused.

I love Ferguson. Some of my Christian conservative friends, however, think he is the anti-Christ.
