(Above) Notice Michelle's body language; her knees are pointed away from Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Michelle's back is to her.

Experts snap at memorial selfies
"Nothing good can come of bringing an iPhone to a memorial service.

Obama and selfies; Did you think Rush Limbaugh wouldn't have an opinion?   "The Biggest Selfie Boo-Boo Since Weiner"

The Sydney, Australia, Morning Herald covered the episode this way: "US President Barack Obama may have moved the masses attending Nelson Mandela’s memorial service with his stirring eulogy, but it was his grinning "selfie" with the Danish and British premiers that set social networks abuzz."

But keep in mind: "The event was a memorial service and not a funeral for Mandela, who died last week aged 95, and the mood was one of joy and hope as mourners sang, danced and chanted their way into the stadium."
Having fun: Obama jokes with his fellow leaders.
 
Of Course: Photographer Who Took POTUS Selfie Photo Ashamed He Broke News    “ 'That’s kind of a bummer.” Let’s translate that from MSM to English: I broke news — I’m a successful wire service photog! But I broke news that made Mr. Obama look bad. I’ll never hear the end of this from my peers standing around the Monsieur Coffee machine in the AFP break room in their Paris HQ. I am a failure of a photographer. I’ll never be stupid enough to break news again. Mon Dieu! Where did it all go wrong?"
 
If the above seems petty, it is because many of us remember this:
 
And we remember the total lack of grace Mr. Obama has returned to President Bush in the years since.
