The White House Corresondents' Dinner was on CSPAN. Seth Meyers,
Saturday Night Live's head writer, was the comedian/host of the event. I laughed while reading about it, so I wanted to watch it. I thought you might, too.
Didn't Donald Trump know the event is traditionally a roast? (Sure, it usually primarily roasts the president, but everyone is fair game.) I'm a little concerned for the mogul because he seems to have lost his sense of humor. Sir, if you're going to run for office, you need thicker skin. You can't "fire" the American people when they displease you.
Our elected officials must keep many secrets and guard their emotions carefully. I marvel at how Mr. Obama flashed the big smile when Seth Meyers cracks the joke about his inability to locate Osama bin Ladin--especially since the president and a select few knew exactly where bin Laden was and had helped plan an attack for the following day that would result in the end of the terrorist's reign.
So, for a few political chuckles at everyone's expense....
