President Barack Obama’s recent efforts to create buzz around Healthcare.gov became subject to a “Saturday Night Live” skit this weekend, with the late night comedy show exploring additional options the president could opt in on to promote his landmark health care law.

She also asked for his thoughts on the hit D.C.-related television shows "Scandal" and "House of Cards."
"I watch 'House of Cards.' I haven't seen 'Scandal' yet, but Michelle has watched 'Scandal,' " Obama said. "I have to tell ya, life in Washington is a little more boring than displayed on the screen. The truth of the matter is, if you followed me, most of my day is sitting in a room listening to a bunch of folks in gray suits talking about a whole bunch of stuff that wouldn't make very good television."
