I heard a lot about the evening, just didn't get a chance to see it.

Well played, President Obama, well played indeed!

was actually happening while Osama Bin Laden was being killed at his compound. Obama was a master at hiding his concern and managed to get real laughs at the dinner.

This is what I just read on Wikipedia....

"On April 30, Obama called McRaven one more time to wish the SEALs well and to thank them for their service.That evening, the President attended the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, which was hosted by comedian and television actor Seth Meyers. At one point, Meyers joked: "People think bin Laden is hiding in the Hindu Kush, but did you know that every day from four to five he hosts a show on C-SPAN?" Obama laughed, despite his knowledge of the operation to come."
