Once again our President disgraces us on the world stage. The way this country is being ran into the ground makes me want to hang my head and cry. Shakes head in disbelief. Facepalm doesn't even cover it.

I think we're the ones getting the shaft.
He will sitting pretty for the rest of his long life, getting premium medical care (he hasn't signed up on healthcare.gov yet) and guarded by the Secret Service.
Yep. He's getting screwed.

Cameron is the other bloke and he's getting a bit of a sporadic media roast for his participation in his specific country as is the Danish PM.

Couple sample links for Cameron selfie stories in the UK:
metro.co.uk...
www.independent.co.uk...

And Danish papers have a few articles on it though they focus on the Danish PM's argument behind it. Couple english language articles for perusal, first one highlights that some of their readers were not impressed at all by their PM's actions:
cphpost.dk...
cphpost.dk...

That better now?

Maybe they are bored, but at least they aren't acting childish about it. If anything it looks more like they are tired of Obama's shenanigans. The guy at the bottom and the guy at the left both appear to be reading the memorial card (which you can see on the far left.)

All in all, it's not a HUGE deal but lets not pretend it's not at least a little embarrassing.

This is what I see going down in picture 1 :-

Too many of you are taking this all out of context and have no idea what was going on.




Michelle didn't have the nerve to ask herself hence her serious, nervous look

Wtf has ATS become, why are this the top topic?
By the way im Danish, its my PM. Im not especially fond of her politics, but this is a non story.
The only embarassing thing is that most americans dont even know who she is, or where Denmark is on the map.

I'm moving to Denmark, your politicians are hot!

Thank you for posting in re to the funerals are more like a memorial with people
partying, singing, dancing & etc. I have attended these myself & there was even a Big Band
playing by the poolside with an open bar & food. However it would seem that you would want
to include your spouse & not be rude in front of them due to the circumstances.
Guess she wasn't in the mood.

Cheers

hahaha, sounds like a scene from a sit-com or a Vince Vaugn movie.

I never would say something to protect Obama, but in this case if you look how the African people tend to "celebrate" a funeral, it is totally different than we would do here.
They are laughing and dancing arround. You could clearly see this on TV footage, at least here in Germany.
Obama was just having a good time, like all other people there. Only Michelle did not like it

You should do one of the seat change photo. The posturing in all three parties is so interesting in that photo. Michelle has literally turned her back on the Danish PM which denotes irritation ("turning your back on someone", "giving someone the cold shoulder"). She's craning her neck to the right and it could almost be construed that she's still keeping an eye on the blonde PM. The blonde PM has her nose buried in her phone, smiles and laughing totally gone. Obama is off to the side, his own body turned away from both, entirely focused on whatever he's looking at and pulling back from the seat--he looks ready to bolt, lol.

Plus the two non-involved people on the right of the Danish PM are interesting, too. They are looking straight at the Obamas and the Danish PM. Cameron's gone, too.

I'm not sure Michelle is necessarily upset most about the woman. Mandela meant different things to different people and Michelle is far more serious ..taking her by public comments..about her racial identity in her life, than Barack is.

This event could well have had deep personal meaning to her....and here he is, cutting up like they're at a horse race or something. You can see the guy behind them with the 'selfie' trying to hide. How shameful.

I see real rage in her.

The guy hiding in the selfie................Holder. You no he sure didn't want anything to do with that selfie. He get him selfie in enough trouble.

Here is another one:_

I'm not American, but it seems people just want to have a go at Obama for any reason they can find, and also display their ignorance by not bothering to find out that the 'some blond woman and some other bloke' are actually the leaders of Denmark and Britain.

OK THIS IS FUN!!!!!

reply to post by myartisstrong


lol why is this at the top of ATS? This isn't a funeral, it was a memorial. And that isn't just some woman, she is the Prime Minister of Denmark. I think I saw someone say she was the PM of the Netherlands, but the PM of the Netherlands is Mark Rutte. I also saw someone say that the PM was to blame for flirting with the POTUS.. lol all I have to say is it takes two to tango.

All kinds of misinfo in this one. Makes me wonder about the rest of the posts on ATS that make it to the top.
But to be frank, this is pretty funny. It is obvious that Michelle Obama is upset, she shows it in her body language, then something happened and both Obamas were upset and showed it in their body language, then you see them in switched seats.. ROFL!

I also like how the OP says it was in an RT.com story, but fails to provide a link to the story and instead has a field day with Obama pics.
