Obama selfie draws ire
It was all going so well after that historic handshake with Raul Castro. But President Obama managed to put himself back in the firing line after posing for a rather inappropriate selfie with Prime Minister David Cameron and the Danish leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt at a memorial held for Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
Michelle Obama was captured on camera looking unamused by her husband's playful pursuits as he snapped away on his mobile phone during the sombre service. The photograph quickly went viral on the internet, sparking widespread outrage on social media.
“What selfish morons take a 'selfie' at a memorial service? Oh yeah that's right, Barack Obama and David Cameron,” one Twitter user wrote.
