"Hillary Clinton looked up and issued her verdict: '(Expletive) the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.'” http://wapo.st/1aCUTg8

from review of Mark Leibovich’s ‘This Town’ :

. . . when a national-security official suggested that President Obama shouldn’t skip the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner on the weekend of the Osama Bin Laden raid because the press might get suspicious, Hillary Clinton looked up and issued her verdict: “(Expletive) the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.”

He brilliantly blasted his critics and made it back in time for the raid. He's the poster child for the anti-"hair on fire" crowd.

He does have nerves of steel.

He could probably disarm a nuclear bomb with a bobby pin and not break a sweat.
