Watch Obama Try to Name Everyone Who's Died on Game of Thrones [SPOILERS]

Leader of the free world is especially saddened by one death in particular.

President Barack Obama is a big-time Game of Thrones fan (he even gets to see episodes before you do), and he demonstrated his knowledge of the acclaimed fantasy series in a new video.

Appearing in a BuzzFeed video titled "5 Things That Are Harder Than Registering to Vote," Obama was asked to list off all the characters who have died in the HBO show throughout its six-season run. As you can see in the SPOILER-FILLED video below, he does a pretty good job.

He briskly moves through the names of deceased Game of Thrones characters but pauses for one in particular. "Hodor. That was sad," he says. It was indeed very sad.

As revealed back in April, HBO sends Obama advanced copies of Game of Thrones episodes, making him likely the most dangerous person on the internet.

"When the commander-in-chief says 'I want to see advanced episodes,' what are you gonna do?" showrunner David Benioff said.

The Game of Thrones Season 6 finale, "The Winds of Winter," aired this past Sunday, June 26. You can watch the latest episode of GameSpot of Thrones to see editors analyze the events of the episode, discuss the potential ramifications, and make a few predictions.

For those who'd rather hear all that instead of watch it, GameSpot of Thrones is on iTunes and the RSS link is available here for other platforms.

HBO has not yet announced a premiere date for Game of Thrones Season 7. In other news, it's been reported that the show's lead actors are getting major pay raises for Seasons 7 and 8.
