'Selfie' diplomacy: Michelle Obama looks unamused by Barack's joking with Danish prime minister
Telegraph ^ | 12-10-13 | Raf Sanchez

First lady appears to fail to see the funny side as her husband takes a 'selfie' with Helle Thorning-Schmidt and David Cameron

For a memorial service it was a remarkably jovial scene: Barack Obama, David Cameron and Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the Danish prime minister, huddled together for a smart phone photograph.

But one person looked distinctly less amused by the world leaders' "selfie" - Michelle Obama.

The First Lady stared straight ahead, hands clasped in her lap, while her husband laughed with the Europeans at Nelson Mandela's memorial in Johannesburg.

Another photograph shows shows her looking on, unsmiling, as Mr Obama shared a joke with Ms Thorning-Schmidt and patted her on the shoulder.

My first reaction is ‘what a miserable *&%^’ but then I remember she’s married to Barack Obama.

Obama tells Mandela memorial: “He makes me want to be a better man”

Jack Nicholson in the movie “As Good As it Gets” to Helen Hunt character...”You make me want to be a better man”

His speech writers are real orignal and probably think the masses will react the same way Helen Hunt character did and fall in love with 0.

The masses are expected to rise in unison and say, “You had us at ‘Forward!’ Dear Leader!”
Surprised this thread is still alive. Others are getting yanked, due to comments I suppose.
