White House commemorates Neil Armstrong's passing with photograph of... Obama

It was a moment to hail a great hero - a chance to remember a man who placed America at the forefront of space exploration and in the history books forever.

And yet President Obama saw the passing of Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on the moon, as a chance for a picture opportunity - of himself. After the death of the 82-year-old on Saturday, Obama's team chose to mark the loss by posting an image of the president gazing up at the moon on his Tumblr account.

...And, if the self-promotion at a time of tragedy was not enough of an insult, blogger SooperMexican noticed that the photograph was in fact a Obama 2012 stock image, taken four months ago. 'What a way for the worst president in recent memory to egotistically dishonor the death of an indisputable American hero,' the scathing blog added.

[molson209]

I see he’s wearing his American gloves, (sorry old army joke )

[Rodm]

You’re so vain . . .

[MtnClimber]

Crescent moon and star? Where have I seen that before?

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Yes, isn’t that interesting...he keeps rubbing this in our face and dares us to say anything.

Have funeral arrangements been made yet? I hope the family keeps it private and lets Obama know he’s not welcome.

ROFL

Only libs would be stupid enough to post this. I guess his conversation with allah was going well.

[LibLieSlayer]

muslim outreach by NASA.

The sure sign of a completely self-absorbed ass.

I sure as heck would forbid barry hussein from attending any kind of service or event involving my family.

[Loud Mime]

If I got to meet Neil Armstrong, I would have been listening, not talking.
It's ironic that the big ears wasn't all ears.

There I was, Mr. Armstrong, praying to Allah with my classmates and making fun of America when all of the sudden, over the radio, they announced that the lying Americans had claimed they landed on the moon! Can you imagine?

[equaviator]

His narcissism is pathological.

[hummingbird]

His name should be "Sonar"....look at those ears in profile.

(Sorry, couldn't help myself.....cheap shot...but feel free to check out my observation).

Just sayin'....

I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,(et ctera,ad nauseum)..............

[rlmorel]

Screw that. I am putting my flag at half-mast right now, and leaving it there.

As I recall, they were at half-mast for a while when Fat Teddy went down.

[Cookies4ever]

Hey equaviator!

You NAILED it!!! I’ve benn looking for a succint way to explain him and your 4 words are PERFECT!

His narcissism is pathological.

[arasina]

ROFL! Perfect! Good job, Roscoe.

[Nik Naym]

“Insufferable prick.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself and I am really good at insulting but accurate descriptions of, well, insufferable pricks.

[Loud Mime]

Our flag has been at half-staff since yesterday.

Flags flew at half staff for three days for Ted Kennedy.

[Loud Mime]

In all fairness, that image appears to be reversed. Look at all the other people — their left hands are over their hearts.

[equaviator]

Sure, America has always had it’s problems but Obama has “issues”.

[rlmorel]

Three days. That is shameful.

[Loud Mime]

Three days. That is shameful.

It was to commemorate the duration of his hangovers.

[KosmicKitty]

Not a star. Probably the planet Venus, FWIW
