'Selfie' diplomacy: Michelle Obama looks unamused by Barack's joking with Danish prime minister
Telegraph ^ | 12-10-13 | Raf Sanchez

First lady appears to fail to see the funny side as her husband takes a 'selfie' with Helle Thorning-Schmidt and David Cameron

For a memorial service it was a remarkably jovial scene: Barack Obama, David Cameron and Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the Danish prime minister, huddled together for a smart phone photograph.

But one person looked distinctly less amused by the world leaders' "selfie" - Michelle Obama.

The First Lady stared straight ahead, hands clasped in her lap, while her husband laughed with the Europeans at Nelson Mandela's memorial in Johannesburg.

Another photograph shows shows her looking on, unsmiling, as Mr Obama shared a joke with Ms Thorning-Schmidt and patted her on the shoulder.

If those three are there — who is running the country?

Has ANYONE ever hinted to her that she can have that JAW reset? My god—at least do it for their oldest daughter who inherited it. It’s so unattractive.

I think Malia is very attractive just the way she is.

Are looks really that important to you?

This story is a little silly, IMO. We have seen countless photos of MO looking like that. She is just a scowler.

Now, the yucking it up at a funeral is something to remark about.

Highly inappropriate funeral/memorial service behavior.

Reminds me of BJ at Brown's funeral righ before he realized the cameras caught him.

Ouch! Her putting herself between those two must have been a huge slap in the face.

He’s chewing on gum, again. Or maybe it’s a puppy. Either way, someone needs to reach in there and stick it to his nose as punishment like the 8 year old that he is.

Yup. His handlers (VJ was sitting right behind him looking none to amused) had to move him and sit Michelle next to Mrs. Denmark.

Any of the hundreds of muslim brotherhood buddies he has installed throughout all the government agencies.

BO’s gay and MO is just pissed because the sex change didn’t go all that well.
