LOW CLASS Obama takes SELFIE @ Mandela FUNERAL!!
EVERYONE ELSE HUMILIATED.
For the thousands of mourners inside Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium it was meant to be a fitting tribute to a ‘giant of history’.
But while some reflected on the remarkable life of Nelson Mandela, some world leaders saw it as the perfect opportunity to grab a quick ‘selfie’ with their peers.
Perhaps not in keeping with the tone of a memorial service, US President Barack Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt grinned as they cosied up for a quick picture at today’s memorial service for the former South African president, prompting an outpouring of criticism.
As the trio posed for the mobile phone snap, Obama’s wife Michelle sat alongside her husband looking less than impressed.
Obama had earlier paid an emotional tribute to Nelson Mandela, calling the South African leader a ‘giant of history’ as he spoke in a stadium where around a third of the seats were mysteriously left empty.

Obama has a habit of inserting himself in front of cameras when they are focused on someone else’s misfortune, whether it be natural disasters or tragedy. It is not unreasonable to assume his wife is disgusted with his behavior when so many others are too. Fox News had balanced coverage of the Mandela memorial. Others like CNN, however, looked like they were providing live commentary fora football game, or a Thanksgiving Day parade. They went a little over the top and were unwatchable. If I were a member of Mandela’s family, the event might have felt like the vultures had swooped in.

Always nice to see cons making a mountain out of a molehill.

And just like during apartheid, Reagan wasn’t there to support Mandela.

Always nice to see Liberals excuse low-class depravity and the most basic forms of common decency to support their guy at ANY cost… CASE: CLOSED.
