While I hate to think that the President is even aware of Jersey Shore, at least he's poking fun at it!

Half of Hollywood was invited to the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in D.C. Saturday on Saturday, and in his speech Obama made several pop culture references.

"The following individuals will be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill: Snooki, J-WOWW, the Situation and House minority leader John Boehner," he quipped.

Obama also took aim at Jay Leno (who headlined the dinner), saying he was "the only person whose ratings fell more than mine." Now that's actually funny!

And of course, he couldn't resist this one-liner: While his poll numbers are down, Obama says he's still popular on Twitter and Facebook, "Or as Sarah Palin calls it, the socialized media."
