Obama Pokes Fun at Huffington Post's Pulitzer [VIDEO]

The annual White House Correspondent's Dinner gives the president a chance to turn the tables and roast the reporters tasked with covering the Oval Office day-in and day-out. This year, the president took a playful jab at The Huffington Post, which recently became the first online-only news publication to win a Pulitzer Prize.

"I'd be remiss if I didn't congratulate The Huffington Post on their Pulitzer Prize," said President Obama. "You deserve it, Arianna. There's no one else out there linking to the kinds of hard-hitting journalism that HuffPo is linking to every single day."

"And you don't pay them," added Obama. "That's a great business model."
