President Obama Takes Selfie At Nelson Mandela Memorial Service

President Obama took a selfie at the memorial service for former South African President Nelson Mandela on Tuesday.


Obama, 52, leaned in with British Prime Minister David Cameron, 47, as Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, 46, snapped an image of the three world leaders smiling while tens of thousands of mourners and other dignitaries paid their respects in Johannesburg to Mandela, who died at the age of 95 on Thurdsay.

First Lady Michelle Obama, 49, can be spotted in the picture observing the solemnity of the occasion.






Needless to say, a number of people have been offended by Obama and the two other politicians for grinning and posing for a selfie during the memorial service.
