If nothing else, your passionate response to this non story tells me that you do actually believe Nelson Mandela was worthy of respect.
Quite a turn around from your previous posts on his passing.
I thought this was rude, childish and egotistical behavior. Yucking it up and taking selfies as speeches were being made about the man people came to honor at his memorial. Is this spoiled child really our president? Even Michelle looks disgusted. God help us.

If you saw the memorial service on TV, the entire tone of the event was exciting and celebratory, not sad and somber. I'm not sure if that was simply a manifestation of South Africa culture, the fact that Nelson Mandela had lived a very long life or both but that atmosphere of celebration was led by the South African people in the stadium. I think the South Africans electrifying the atmosphere with happiness was likely contagious to those from other places and affected people like our President and the leaders of the UK and Denmark. People in the stands were literally dancing and cheering. You can't go into another culture and impose our ways of doing things on them. When in Rome....
I've found most people I've talked with around the water cooler were fine with it. It seems the only people bothered were those who already don't like the President. In any event, I think it'll help him with younger supporters.
First lady not peeved, says photographer who caught the Obama selfie - TODAY.com
So what this is really about is that the Danish PM was sitting between Cameron and Obama, and took out her phone to take the picture. And we're outraged because Obama smiled?Is this another case where you'd like to see him tell world leaders to go **** themselves? Especially considering Denmark and Britain are our friends?

Jeebus H. Christo, you Obama Delusion Syndrome folk really can't handle anything can you?
Bush took a selfie at the event (not a funeral, a celebration)
The talk radio fed ultra right tea party folk need a constant input of manufactured "anger" to get through their days of willful ignorance.
Bread and circuses....

You're right. I should have just accepted it for the sexist slur it was.
With a bimbo while his wife is sitting right next to him. Classy

The photographer who captured President Barack Obama, Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and UK Prime Minister David Cameron taking a selfie at Nelson Mandela's memorial service on Tuesday insists Michelle Obama's stern reaction seen in the photo was not directed at the group.
"I later read on social media that Michelle Obama seemed to be rather peeved on seeing the Danish prime minister take the picture," Roberto Schmidt, the Agence France-Presse photographer who took the photo, wrote in a blog post. But photos can lie. In reality, just a few seconds earlier the first lady was herself joking with those around her, Cameron and Thorning-Schmidt included. Her stern look was captured by chance."
That didn't stop the tabloids from splashing the first lady's reaction shots on their covers.
Oh my. Obviously you guys only get selective media coverage there. I watched the entire Memorial Service and saw Michelle Obama laughing with Thorning-Schmidt, Cameron and President Obama just before the picture was talking.
Backed up by the photographer who took the actual photos by the way...

Context, out the window. Look, Obama is not some schmoe sittin' next to a barfly at a crappy dive that he drove to in his hill billy pickup truck. Have some perspective.
Then why is he acting like one?hahaha

Well, I heard this morning that it was the woman (Prime Minister of ??? - can't remember - LOL) who actually wanted to have a picture with Obama. What should he have said? No?
WOW!Well, here in Dixie, it's best if a man don't be takin' a picturograph with womenfolk. If his wife is around, she's liable to fight the woman, and if she's not it could end up costing the man a few dollars for the evening. Some of them whores expect more than 2 dollars!
