It’s certainly clear to Jay Leno that the Obama administration is fearmongering the budget sequester.

NBC Tonight Show host Jay Leno presented a great interpretation of the sequester negotiations Wednesday. In a mock video, many of our political leaders sang their views as if characters in the hit musical "Les Miserables."

Jay Leno took a marvelous swipe at the Obama-loving media Wednesday.

Rather predictably, many of last Sunday's Super Bowl ads have been criticized for supposedly being racist.

(video follows with transcript and commentary):
