The Obama selfie: Harmless or tasteless?

[Plasmaball]

She looks like she just realized the joke was on her.......

Shrug...just reporting what I read

I just find humor in the whole thing....The president was having a little fun and it is held up for ridicule.

Yeah..people are petty..

In some countries, when a great man or woman dies, they celebrate the life of that person. They party. It's how they show respect and love. Obama was acting exactly how he was supposed to and the people of South Africa appreciated that.

Republicans don't know about other cultures and they don't care. Look at the endless "blacks are inferior" threads by white Republicans at the USMB. Some on the right are so loathsome, they even try to blame that on Democrats.

People should ***** about Obamascare or Benghazi or, so many other more important things....

but to ***** about a selfie when everybody was celebrating a life?

that's plain stupid, small minded and self righteous

and I don't like Obama ....so

It's no wonder why O has banned reporters from taking pictures of him. Only his guys can capture his highness, as he poses for photo-ops that flatter him, to the people whose votes he needs in order to sustain the Democratic Party's ambitions of FORWARD, marching straight into socialism.. or worse.

At least bill clinton waited until after his 'friend' was in the dirt and the funeral was over before yucking it up with his pals

truly shows obamas lack of class

 

[Hum Dinger]

Seriously!

If you were sitting between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of the U.K., YOU'D WANT A PICTURE TOO!

Don't lie!

It’s official — the government of the United States of Obama consists of boobs and bores and is led by a narcissist. It is no consolation that Great Britain joins us in racing to the bottom.
President Obama’s flirting with Denmark’s prime minister would be shameful on any occasion. That it happened at the memorial for Nelson Mandela only adds to the embarrassment.
But the “selfie” episode also symbolizes the greater global calamity of Western decline. With British prime minister David Cameron playing the role of Obama’s giggling wingman, the “look at me” moment confirms we have unserious leaders in a dangerously serious time.

And this narcissist piously preaching "my brother's keeper".. has a brother living in a $12/year hut!

Only a naive and foolish 14 year old teeny-bopper goes to a funeral, laughs it up with VIP's and take selfies. PERIOD !!! what? this is a funeral? did someone die? well NO BODY TOLD ME!

The media should get a life and try some real journalism...not ''Inside Edition''.

Is this Obama's Watergate?

 

[TheOldSchool]

Another meaningless right-wing obsession that will backfire

This is not the country I wish to raise my cats in.

The media might finally be learning the lesson of what they did. It just cannot be undone.

I've been saying that for the last 13 years....

 

[JamesInFlorida]

It was both harmless and tasteless. No real harm will come from it. But it is certainly tasteless to take a selfie at a funeral.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

To be perfectly honest, it isn't even really worth having a discussion about.

 

[tinydancer]

Well how can I put it kindly. Neither man is getting laid by their wives for more than a few weeks.

Who cares what we think.
