Awww, how else are Davey and Helle supposed to remember that they all attended this event together? Too bad Angela didn't go. That picture is missing some reddish blonde.

Prez (named Bush)has someone else take pic and post to instagram = No problemo.

But thanks for proving me right. They both took pictures at a funeral - but you'll only bitch about the black guy.

Yes, it's really sadly desperate, and absolutely astonishing how FAR he'll reach to try and make some kind of idiotic "point".

Oh, and here's one from 2002:

"Bush selfie: President George W. Bush takes a photo of himself with a group of police officers in 2002."

Seriously, poor little Rap has really gone around the bend…
Quote:

I hate to tell him, but the fact that internet claims something and he repeats it doesn't give it any special validity. We understand he gloms onto something from his right-wing masters and practically drools on himself to put it up here. We all realize that he's desperate for something every single day that he can post against Obama, but this one is truly pathetic.

Quote:

An unexpected handshake. A selfie. A seat change.
President Barack Obama's gestures at Nelson Mandela's memorial service in Johannesburg were widely scrutinized on the world's stage Tuesday.
Tuesday's event was not a funeral. But that didn't stop the "Selfies at Funerals" Tumblr, which documented the aforementioned trend, from categorizing the world leaders' selfie as one.
"Obama has taken a funeral selfie," Jason Feifer, the site's creator, wrote. "So our work here is done."



Truly asinine, the microscopic scrutiny; truly pathetic, Rap's determination to insist it's somehow…what, newsworthy????

As to Bush's "self-portraits", I think they're the epitome of classlessness for an ex-President…naked paintings of himself in the shower and tub; can you imagine what Rap and his buddies would be making out of it if Obama had done such a thing? It's to laugh…!

Ever the coward. I didn't ask what others had to say, you blithering idiot - I asked how you can justify your double standard. BING isn't an answer - its the childish dodge of a little boy incapable of explaining his own actions. Which, really, sums you up in a nutshell.

Can't address your own double-standard - because you're a hypocritical piece of shit.

And you think a web search justifies your derangement. But sure, call me unintelligent - it's always funny, especially in light of the moronic crap you spout daily.

Quote:

Guy Who Took Photo of Obama Selfie Tells Internet to Get a Life

“It’s a sign of our times that somehow this image seemed to get more attention than the event itself,” Schmidt wrote on Agence France-Presse’s “Correspondent” blog Wednesday morning.

He also told the rest of us retweeters to get over our viral frivolities. “The AFP team worked hard to display the reaction that South African people had for the passing of someone they consider as a father,” Schmidt wrote. “We moved about 500 pictures, trying to portray their true feelings, and this seemingly trivial image seems to have eclipsed much of this collective work…I confess too that it makes me a little sad we are so obsessed with day-to-day trivialities, instead of things of true importance.” http://www.mediaite.com/online/guy-who-took-photo-of-obama-selfie-tell

There are many ways to remember President Barack Obama's appearance at South Africa's memorial for Nelson Mandela.

Some may remember Obama as Mandela's spiritual son, our president riding on his own soaring rhetoric at that stadium, wrapping himself in Mandela's mantle, dreaming of the father of the new South Africa.

And others will seize on Obama shaking hands with the executioner of Cuba, our president bowing to Raul Castro just as he once bowed to the lords of the Chicago Democratic Machine before beginning his climb.

But those images — Obama riding on his magic rhetorical carpet, reaching for dreams of Mandela, or his clasping of the right hand of Fidel Castro's demonic brother — are about politics.

But there's another image from the memorial that defines Obama. It has nothing to do with ideology.

A news photographer captured the president sitting with the prime ministers of Great Britain and Denmark. He has a cellphone in his hand. The three of them are grinning.

First lady Michelle Obama sits off to the side, somber, dignified, as the world remembers Mandela. Yet next to her like some goofy adolescent who hasn't yet been taught how to behave properly at a memorial service — her husband — is snapping a memorial to himself.

President Selfie.

That's what he's being called now, and it blew up on the Twitterverse. It's not the most compelling photojournalism in history. But it is clear, and as pointed as a pin.

Obama and Denmark's Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt extend their arms, hands on the cellphone, to take the self-portrait. British PM David Cameron leans in. They're as bubbly as school kids ordering a happy meal.

Why would a president take a selfie at a memorial for Mandela? Because it wasn't about Mandela.

It was about Barack.

And isn't it always about Barack?

Earlier, Obama sauntered through the crowd, shaking hands, waving, welcoming the love bath they gave him. He wasn't mourning as much as he was campaigning for adoration, a man determined to receive his due.

And then came the presidential selfie.

It fits into a pattern, of almost uncontrollable presidential selfieism.

A few days ago, when Mandela passed away at 95, Obama's media managers tweeted a photograph. You'd think he'd tweet a photograph of Mandela. But it wasn't of Mandela.

It was of Obama in Mandela's former prison cell, the president having gone to the prison because he couldn't get that photo op he wanted with the ailing South African during Obama's $100 million African vacation.

Obama as Mandela.

And then there was Obama as Rosa Parks.

To commemorate Parks, who 58 years ago this month defied racists who wanted black people to sit in the back of the bus, Obama released another tweet.

Not of Rosa Parks. But of Obama, sitting on the bus by himself, Obama Rosa.

"In a single moment 58 years ago today, Rosa Parks helped change this country," said the presidential tweet.

Yet there was Obama on the bus alone. It's all about Barack.

His social media managers should be sent to Guantanamo for feeding this electronic cult of personality.

There are no Obama selfies from his earlier life in Chicago, the pre-messianic Obama, the man who would later promise to hold back the oceans and heal the planet with a wave of his lips.

I'd have loved a selfie of Obama and his real estate fairy, Tony Rezko, as they stood on the lawn in front of Obama's dream house in the Kenwood neighborhood. That was the home that Rezko helped him get, in a deal that the president confessed was a "boneheaded" move.

Just think of what he might have tweeted at the time, there on the lawn with Tony, wearing khaki shorts, polo shirts and Sox gear:

"The Tony Rezko I know realized I really wanted this house. And he was right!"

And what about tweeted pix of Obama voting "present" all those times in the Illinois Senate, or one of Obama on bended knee before then-Senate President Emil Jones, asking to be made a U.S. senator.

Or selfies with former Gov. Rod Blagojevich or former Mayor Rich Daley or Boss Mike Madigan.

Ah, such tweets, such tweets. They'd be worth the price. Sadly, the Twitterverse back then was nothing like the one today.

Besides, Twitter deals in only 140 characters, and Obama's speech at the Mandela memorial was a tad longer.

It dripped with peace, as Obama told the world that Mandela's death should prompt self-reflection. He said he often asks himself: "How well have I applied his (Mandela's) lessons in my own life?"

"We too, must act on behalf of peace. ... The questions we face today — how to promote equality and justice, to uphold freedom and human rights, to end conflict and sectarian war — do not have easy answers. … Nelson Mandela reminds us that it always seems impossible until it is done."

The man who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize without accomplishing anything except demonstrating competence in raw politics and rhetoric forgot a few things.

He forgot those killer drones he sends down from the skies. And he forgot the fact that he would have bumbled us into another war in Syria had not the American people stopped him.

But it's not all talk with the president. There's that picture from the stadium, and he's grinning.

President Selfie.

Quote:

The photographer who caught Barack Obama in the act of taking a ‘selfie’ at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service says he’s sad that such a trivial moment has eclipsed the emotion of the ceremony.

AFP’s Roberto Schmidt wrote a blog post about the taking of the photo that went viral on social media and spawned a thousand media reaction stories.

Schmidt shot Obama, UK prime minister David Cameron and Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt taking a photo of themselves on Ms Thorning-Schmidt’s smartphone halfway through the four-hour ceremony.

He said that after Obama’s “stirring eulogy” he decided to follow the president’s movements through his telephoto lens, and caught the moment.

“I didn’t see anything shocking in my viewfinder,” he blogged, saying the atmosphere at the FNB Stadium was “totally relaxed.”

“I doubt anyone could have remained totally stony faced for the duration of the ceremony, while tens of thousands of people were celebrating,” he said. “For me, the behaviour of these leaders in snapping a selfie seems perfectly natural.”

He said he probably would have done the same in their place.

“The AFP team worked hard to display the reaction that South African people had for the passing of someone they consider as a father. We moved about 500 pictures, trying to portray their true feelings, and this seemingly trivial image seems to have eclipsed much of this collective work.”

Schmidt also busted the myth, popular on some websites and Twitter, that Michelle Obama’s stony-faced appearance was due to jealousy at the attention the blonde-haired Thorning-Schmidt was receiving.

“Photos can lie,” he said. “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.”

He said people were interested to see politicians in a human light, and he wished the press had more access to let them show that side of themselves.

“I confess too that it makes me a little sad we are so obsessed with day-to-day trivialities, instead of things of true importance,” he wrote.

Mr Cameron today laughed off the publicity, saying he was happy to be shown to be building political bridges.

Ms Thorning-Schmidt is married to the son of former UK Labour leader Neil Kinnock

Because it's not a valid comparison, for one.
Bush didn't take a " selfie ", ma'am. Maybe you're not familiar w/ the exact definition of that word ? And as for PAINTING a self portrait, that's not at all uncommon for artists to do. From Leonardo da Vinci to Norman Rockwell. Criticize Bush for his subject matter all you want, but don't try to lump that issue in w/ Obama's jr high level antics.

Too late. Already said it was tacky of him to have posted his pic with Bono ( or had someone do it for him ) but Presidents pose for others to take their pic all the time. Most famouse folk do. Even our BDH. So what? Not the same as acting like a14 yr old on a field trip.

Another non-scandal the reichwing are trying to whip up. It was a cheerful occasion, not a funeral. Taking pics wasn't inappropriate.

Did anyone at Faux mention that Obama gave a nice speech, and got the most applause of any speaker? No? Imagine that...

Oh yeah. They did mention Barry's speech. And how he turned an icon's passing into being all about... himself.

Again, stay classy,Barry.

Actually, the guy who took the photo of Obama was... OBAMA !! That's the key point you're intentionally trying to ignore.



Just how stupid exactly IS Rap? The person who took the photo of Obama taking this "selfie" wrote an entire op ed; I quoted part of it, Magons quoted it in its entirety. Apparently Rap believes Obama not only took a photo of himself (how has anyone "ignored" that??), but somehow mysteriously took a photo OF himself TAKING a photo of himself and gave it to the newspapers, or...oh, wait, this is just too absurd. Poor Rap, what kind of life makes you so desperate for attention?

You couldn't give him a pass after criticising Obama. But if Obama hadn't done it, and this thread was just about Bush?

Well, we all know what line you would have taken.

It's not personal. It's just war.

You just said I would give W a pass when I already didn't. Now you're just trolling.

Were it not for the name calling at me by some who don't like it that an actual story in the media is being posted here in RWED, maybe it would have by now.

No, because A - It's based on a false premise and B - I ALREADY didn't.

Also, the dignity of the office doesn't change because of who resides there. That's what you're not getting. I don't give W a pass and ridicule Barry if both are doing the exact same thing.

It seems you WISH that were the case, and that is what is driving your 'hypothetical', but I think I know my own views better than you know them.

George:

"Angie, Angie
When will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here?

With no loving in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But, Angie, Angie
You can't say we never tried

Angie, you're beautiful, yeah
But ain't it time we said goodbye?
Angie, I still love you
Remember all those nights we cried?

All the dreams we held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here?"
