Comedian Jimmy Fallon isn't known for his animosity towards the Obamas, but he "burned" the President's health care law on Wednesday's Tonight Show.

Impersonating Russian president Vladimir Putin on a mock phone call with Obama, Fallon took a swipe at ObamaCare after the President accused him of forcing Russian allegiance upon Crimea: [Video below the break. Audio here.]

Below is a transcript of the segment:

BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States: Look, look, we've got to talk about the situation in Ukraine. I mean, you invaded Crimea.

VLADIMIR PUTIN, President of Russia: No, no, no. You got it backwards my friend. Haven't you heard 80's comedian Yakov Smirnoff, everything in Russia is opposite. So technically, Crimea invade us.

[Laughter]

OBAMA: Don't you see what you're doing though? You're forcing people to accept something that the majority of them don't even want.

PUTIN: Yes, in Russia we have word for this. ObamaCare.

[Laughter and applause]

OBAMA: Ouch, ouch, ouch. Now that hurt.

PUTIN: Yeah. Does ObamaCare cover burns?

[Laughter]

OBAMA: Ha ha. Very funny. And no.
