The Washington Times notes that the late-night hosts have been shamed into doing their job.

Jay Leno earlier this week quipped that when the Democratic presidential aspirant was asked what he thought about being called arrogant, "well he said he was 'above having to answer that question.' "

Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" recently joked that on his trip to Israel, the Democratic presidential aspirant "made a quick stop at the manger in Bethlehem where he was born."

David Letterman said that the senator from Illinois was so overconfident that he proposed changing the name of Oklahoma to "Oklabama."

Obama is now officially funny ha ha.
