Can you believe that President Obama is taking a selfie at Mandela's funeral? During the eulogy of Nelson Mandela President Obama was caught taking a picture of himself with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning. President Obama was sitting between the Prime Ministers and his wife Michelle Obama. The eulogy had 91 world leader including the President and the two Prime Minister. Michelle shown in the picture above look agitated as she should due to the inappropriate behavior of her husband and the other two leader. Other reporters are claiming the Michelle was not only upset about the picture during the eulogy but also about the flirting that was going on between the President and Helle. Both were laughing and whispering to on another during the service.
Michelle is not the only one that found this to be inappropriate on British political columnist Iain Martian from Daily Telegraph blogged these quotes:
“Why do Cameron and Obama feel the need to behave like idiots?”
“Why let a fuddy-duddy thing like manners get in the way of a social media opportunity, where we can put ourselves at the center of everything, clowning around like Muppets.”
Other civilians express the same kinds of concern through different social media outlet like Twitter, shocked that world leader will take a picture during the time that everyone is grieving for the great leader Nelson Mandela.
