Wait a minute ... did Obama force an aircraft carrier to cruise around for a few extra days,

[zbdent]

keeping the service men and women from returning home, force a pilot to allow him to land a military jet on the carrier where he could have just arrived (in the normal fashion) in a helicopter, walk around in a flight suit with a sock stuffed in the crotch, commission a banner declaring victory, all for this selfie (photo-op) in a foreign dignitary's personal camera?

And did he invade a country all to set up this photo-op?

[Scuba]

1. No, but he is black.

[zbdent]

2. More to the point ...

he's a Dem.

IOKIYAR ...

[yellowcanine]

3. No but he did join in on someone's "selfie" at a memorial service!

Clearly the only solution is impeachment.

[Arkana]

4. No, but he has committed multiple PWBs.

Presidenting While Black, that is.

[MyNameGoesHere]

5. I am sure he didn't but he did

take a ill advised selfie. I don't know, the atmosphere at the memorial seemed pretty festive, so I am sure it was not an out of place act. But for the party that wants to criticize anything, it was a freebie to fuel their ire. I wouldn't be as inclined to always give them fuel for their fires.

[riqster]

7. It doesn't make any difference what he does.

So he may as well act as thinks he should. There's no percentage in trying to avoid Repube attacks when he gets them 24/7/365.

[MyNameGoesHere]

8. That is one way to combat the criticism

I don't know how well it will work, but it is one way.

[Plucketeer]

11. It's a wonder

the GOP/TP hasn't been critical of Obama's farts. Of course, maybe they can't detect them because their own stench is overpowering.

[MyNameGoesHere]

13. I am sure the President has enough self control to not fart in public.

Of course not being a professional fart smeller I cannot attest to that.

[AtheistCrusader]

15. Yeah, I'm sure if there's a next time it would be more prudent to tell the Danish PM to fuck off

instead, to 'maintain decorum'.







Come on this is a COMPLETE fabricated non-issue, spun up by people who would say ANYTHING to harass the President on any issue.
I mean FUCK, I can't even make a stiff upper lip British joke here, because CAMERON is in the photo too. Come on.

[MyNameGoesHere]

16. Sure it is fabricated non-sense

and the President can take a selfie, tell the PM to fuck off or any of the aforementioned. He could go butt naked to a press event. He could start twerking in the oval office. He has the right to do all of those, and the responsibility to put up with the blow back. It is his call.

[AtheistCrusader]

17. Nope. He doesn't need to deal with the 'blow back' from this.

The least we can do is stand up and call this bullshit out for the bullshit it is.

[MyNameGoesHere]

18. Yes he can choose to ignore it

But hey, little secret, that ain't going to keep the wolves at bay. I can't tell what is going on and therefore I cannot judge. One thing I do know is not in one million years and or 20 minutes after I am dead, would I ever think doing a selfie at any memorial service is appropriate. That includes if Mother Theresa, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King is sitting right next to me. I don't know, maybe it's nothing but it just gave me one of those, what the fuck was he thinking moments.

[AtheistCrusader]

19. What are YOU thinking?

Why impose YOUR social customs on others? There are cultural traditions beyond the American Standard of standing around looking stoic and glum. This was a CELELBRATION of Mandela's life. Not a pity-party to see who can stand around and look the most miserable.

Have you ever been to a wake? Or a celebration of life memorial?

Taking a picture with friends, at such an event is neither unheard of, nor improper.
Some of us comfort the living, when we remember the dead, and take joy in having known them. We celebrate their accomplishments, their lives, and the moments we shared.

Your cultural filters need adjustment.

6. First off...

...Two Shoes McClown did not land the aircraft; the flying fuckstick got the yoke in cruise flight, big fucking difference.

Secondly, it's pretty much a given that the CBS report on his purported "flying" skills and service during Viet Nam was correct, so fuck that assmonkey.

[12AngryBorneoWildmen]

9. And fuck CBS

and NYT for holding wiretap info on GWB 'til after 2004 election.

[zbdent]

10. Yeah, damn that "liberally-biased media" ...

...

[freshwest]

20. Gawd, how I've missed you, AP. Post more, I need the laughs. Too gloomy around here lately. n/t

[marble falls]

12. But all that was Obama's fault, too. Everything's Obama's fault!

[KansDem]

14. But Obama shook hands with Raul Castro!

And there's still Benghazi! Don't forget Benghazi!!!

[freshwest]

21. Never forget Benghazi!!! The Tea Party's Alamo reference. All mangled, but it's still a Trifecta:

Bad Arabs!

Bad Clinton!

Bad Obama!

Benghazi!

Sounds just like Kamikazi!

Which means it's also Nazi!
