Watch President Obama react to Seth Meyers' Osama Bin Laden Joke

At Saturday's (May 30) annual White House Correspondents Dinner, emcee Seth Meyers had no idea how close to home he was hitting when he made a joke about the long-sought Osama Bin Laden."People think bin Laden is hiding in the Hindu Kush," quipped Meyers, "but did you know that every day from 4 to 5 p.m. he hosts a show on C-SPAN?"
Meyers meant to suggest, we suppose, that C-SPAN's round-the-clock coverage wouldn't attract enough viewers to notice. Apparently he hasn't spent much time inside the Beltway.
In any case, watch as President Obama -- who surely was aware of the operation led by U.S. forces then underway to kill Bin Laden in Pakistan -- reacts. We'll officially label it a hearty guffaw. News of Bin Laden's death was released by the White House the next day.

another fine editing job by the geniuses at zap2it. May 30th? try again.
FYI, the pic you have in the side column is of Meyers' brother, not Seth.
Is it really so unclear what he was suggesting so as to warrant the "we suppose" remark"? The comment was part of a whole bit about how no one watches C-SPAN. The joke was obvious.
Two mistakes made by zap2it on this short article... Pull your head out of your ***!
When I first heard this news, I asked if he died from old age. I wasn't being a smart ***,It's been so many years, and I have little doubt that part of the time, he was hiding in plain sight. I am just wondering why it took so many years to find the world's number 1 criminal?
Osama Bin Laden was a billionaire with many friends who was hiding out in a vast, well populated area of the world that isn't exactly USA friendly. I'm pretty sure he knew not to go pick up the groceries.
It's not shocking that it took the US 10 years to find him, especially when George Bush took the priority off of him and put it onto two different warzones.
If TRUMP were Prez Osama would have been wrapped in Bacon with a block of spam in his mouth and sent on to meet his 72 virgins with a box full of viagra.
