Do you remember 2011 Obama's Corres. Dinner the night before Osama Bin Laden

was finally killed? I was so impressed that he was somehow able to not only keep it a secret but he was able to tell jokes about tRump and birtherism like a true comedian. The next day he announced Bin Laden was dead and tRump's Celebrity Apprentice was pre-empted so that Obama could deliver the news.

He is one smooth POTUS.

and hearing about "an announcement" and popping up to turn on the TV and watching his statement (I think the heads up came at like 10:30 pm ET and he ended up giving it an hour later).

The news anchors kept saying an important announcement was coming and I knew it had to be Bin Laden. I even called my friends and family to give them a heads up.
