for just that very reason. I only want to hear what's going on in the proceeding, I don't need anyone talking over or between takes to explain things to me.

Obama had already given orders to kill Bin Laden but it was still a secret and he was as cool as a cucumber. The other memorable laugh was when he joked about tRump and his failed "birther" attempts, you could see the steam coming out of his ears.

Good to see POTUS and VEEP and their spouses in attendance again. And this POTUS knows the words to the national anthem. Plus, this POTUS courteously held the chair for his table mate. Lovely contrast, just lovely!
