Funeral selfie: George W. Bush posted this Instagram picture of him with Bono at the #MandelaMemorial

Yikes! President Dubya took a picture at the Mandela Memorial!

He must have a really, really long arm to take that selfie. How about, "President Dubya HAD a picture taken at the Mandela memorial." I think that would be more accurate. President Obama had his picture taken with Bono also. They both must be fans.

I wonder if they ever found what they were looking for?

It's difficult where the streets have no name.

But not impossible....

These city lights, they shine as silver and gold.
Dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal.
Walk on by, walk on through.
Walk till you run and don't look back
For here I am.....

Snapping a selfie that really isn't. :thumbs:

As I recall the Danish leader was the one who was taking Obama's "selfie". But no one seemed to care. Just highlights the motives of all the negative folks.

Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt says she was just having a “bit of fun” when she snapped the now famous selfie alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama during the middle of the memorial for former South African leader Nelson Mandela.

The Danish PM told the Danish daily Berlingske that taking the impromptu group photo of the three world leaders while at the memorial was not “inappropriate.”

“There were lots of pictures taken that day, and I just thought it was a bit of fun. Maybe it also shows that when we meet heads of state and government, we too are just people who have fun.”

Once AGAIN....

....you fail to see the truth as it stand before you, :wavey: waving it's arm off....


Notice that the seats are empty. The service is undoubtably over, and this is rest and time for meeting and greeting!

Obama did his selfie somewhere in the middle of the service! Did the truth bug you that much, brother? I apologize if I offended you and your appreciation and respect for Obama, I just thought I was doing a public service!

With that said, I think its time for you to move on, and if you are really looking for something tacky, try looking a little harder and deeper than a photo OP of Bush with Bono after the ceremony was finished. Over. Completed. Ended. Ceased. Stopped. Culminated. Terminated! Concluded! :thumbs:

A selfie is a picture that you take of yourself BY yourself. This is not a selfie. Nor is the one with the President either because it was someone else's "selfie" and he was in the picture. I don't think his picture was wrong either. Here's more info:
