How did I make MY relationship a point of debate? Pointing out what a real husband and man does and doesn't do at certain times?
Find a woman that will put up with your immature BS and you just found a weak minded loser, or you already have one.

My immature BS? Do you have a leash?

True, there is a different culture in charge of the US these days. And Obama is very representative of that culture.

People had pride and respect for their nation back then, and by proxy the leadership. Now, all that has washed away. Thanks in part to the leaders themselves.
But the media bias is just as bad if not worse.

Shut up. I told you. Melbourne if you got the balls. Of course you don't, and we all know it. But just throwing it out there if you ever feel like running your mouth beyond a keyboard.

I told you, you're on your own.
 
Funny how the folks who think it's not big deal that the POTUS acts like a clown at a memorial service for a foreign dignitary he himself elevated in the public eye are still so interested in this thread into page 21. :mrgreen:

Btw, has anyone mentioned the photos shown are not selfies, these are photos of Obama taking selfies, not the selfies themselves.

Jeebus H. Christo, you Obama Delusion Syndrome folk really can't handle anything can you?

Bush took a selfie at the event (not a funeral, a celebration)

The talk radio fed ultra right tea party folk need a constant input of manufactured "anger" to get through their days of willful ignorance.

Bread and circuses....

ps just to point out the obvious, that isn't a selfie
 
FYI, we are talking about the funeral for a 95 year-old dude. Not many tears at that one.


Nonetheless, if I was Michelle, Barack would be on sleeping the couch for a month.

Yeah, that could never happen.:roll:


1. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves against their ethnic-cleansing government, were arrested and exterminated.

2. In 1929, the former Soviet Union established gun control as a means of controlling the “more difficult” of their citizens. From 1929 to the death of Stalin, 40 million Soviets met an untimely end at the hand of various governmental agencies as they were arrested and exterminated.

3. After the rise of the Nazi’s, Germany established their version of gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves against the “Brown Shirts”, were arrested and exterminated. Interestingly, the Brown Shirts were eventually targeted for extermination themselves following their blind acts of allegiance to Hitler. Any American military and police would be wise to grasp the historical significance of the Brown Shirts’ fate.

4. After Communist China established gun control in 1935, an estimated 50 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves against their fascist leaders, were arrested and exterminated.

5. Closer to home, Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayans, unable to defend themselves against their ruthless dictatorship, were arrested and exterminated.

6. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves from their dictatorial government, were arrested and exterminated.

genocide 57. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million of the “educated” people, unable to defend themselves against their fascist government, were arrested and exterminated.

8. In 1994, Rwanda disarmed the Tutsi people and being unable to defend themselves from their totalitarian government, nearly one million were summarily executed.

The total numbers of victims who lost their lives because of gun control is approximately 70 million people in the 20th century. The historical voices from 70 million corpses speak loudly and clearly to those Americans who are advocating for a de facto gun ban. Governments murdered four times as many civilians as were killed in all the international and domestic wars combined. Governments murdered millions more people than were killed by common criminals and it all followed gun control

Nice cut and paste, has nothing to do with it happening in the US. You are just mongering fear.
 
so the Obama selfie is going to lead to gun and genocide control now? Thank god we didn't get to see any planking
 
Ok, that's it! I'm goin' to Tampa!!

Jackie Kennedy was very determined that the Kennedy years would be presented in a positive light by the press. She made requests that certain things not be published in photos. The press honored her requests. It's too bad the Obamas don't have the common sense to do the same things.

A few issues with this....

1) The photographer isn't part of the US press, he works for AFP.

2) No one expected this to show Obama in a negative light, including the photographer.

3) No one today would listen to a request by a head of state not to publish unflattering images.

4) Ironically, the US press is criticizing the Obama administration for basically kicking press photographers out of the White House and many events. They have WH staff photographers take the pictures, which they then distribute. (e.g. White House Transparency Is 'Orwellian Image Control' - Business Insider)
 
This picture isn't a selfie either. A selfie is a picture of YOURSELF (only yourself) taken by yourself. Hence "selfie." :mrgreen:

Look, dude, I didn't make your relationship a point of debate - YOU did. If you don't like it, go cry to your mama (if she will not also kick your ass).

If I was his wife or mama, I would totally kick ass. :mrgreen:

You've already been schooled on the difference between selfie and just another photo. But this wasn't a "celebration" it was a memorial. Take a look at the Obama photo in the OP, look at the folks sitting in rows above and below him. They're not celebrating but somber faces. Obama and his buds are the only ones "celebrating" in those photos.

A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone, and are usually taken in a slightly tilted manner. Selfies are often associated with social networking. In the Korean entertainment industry the word selca (short for "self camera") means photos taken of oneself.[1][2][3] They are often casual, are typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror, and typically include either only the photographer, or the photographer and as many people as can be in focus. Selfies taken that involve multiple people are known as "group selfies".

Selfie or group selfie? Group selfie, not selfie. AND it wasn't even for him! Doesn't that count for something?

Schooled? Hardly. The Obama Derangement Syndrome crowd has yet again elevated utter piffle like this into a giant monument of nit-pick stupidity. That you would waste time and outrage on something this stupid really shows where the tea party priorities are. It was a celebration, and you can't see everyone there, ou are just making assumptions based on your ODS bias. You set up no win situations, if he didn't go, you would rip him, if he was overly somber, you would rip him, if he wasn't somber you rip him. Your ODS makes it convenient for you to manufacture outrage, it is hilarious.
