Osama Bin Laden Joke Gets Wide Grin From Obama (VIDEO)

President Barack Obama had a wider grin than normal when Seth Meyers' joked about Osama bin Laden on Saturday night.

Now it all makes sense. Plans were well underway to go after bin Laden, and his location was all but certain, at the time of the joke at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Almost exactly 24 hours later, Obama delivered the news to the nation that bin Laden was dead.

You can watch the joke below around the 30-second mark and Obama's reaction at about 43 seconds.

Honey, 12 hours before that dinner the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OBAMA, sent the word to take down the s.o.b. Dear, you need to know the "real men" don't sneeze without command of the president. The armed forces play out his strategy. Go somewhere!
