Exchange between Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) and William Dean Singleton, chairman of the board of the ASSOCIATED PRESS at the AP annual meeting in Washington DC:

Singleton: Obama bin Laden is still at large.

Obama: I think that was Osama bin Laden. (audience laughter, delayed applause)

Singleton: If I did that, I'm so sorry.

Obama: No, no, no. this is part of the exercise that I've been going through over the last 15 months, which is why it's pretty impressive that I'm still standing. (applause)
