Is that the "Rent is too damned high" party leader in front of the President?

QuoteTelegraph writer Iain Martin said the photo was uncouth and not worthy of good English manners.

"In all manner of jobs and professions are people who would not behave like Obama and Cameron did today on work time, partly because they just wouldn't. And partly because they know that they might get fired for tweeting a grinning selfie from inside the recently-departed CEO's memorial service," he wrote.

This is more like the CEO and CFO acting up at a service for a regional branch manager.

Aww... I thought you were making a reference to when George Stephanopolous mistook Bill Russell for Morgan Freeman at Obama's inauguration.

At that moment. Every time they showed to the heads of government and state enclosure I was reminded of the old Irish saying that a funeral's a great place to do business.

For the rest it was in a huge football stadium, pissing down with rain. They had to turn off the big screens after the crowd booed every time the camera showed Jacob Zuma. So even if there would have been solemn moments they were kind of stymied by the crowd not being able to see anything. Instead there was a constant background noise and dancing (some behind the podium) with occasional cheers and boos for the different speakers. And it went on for a very long time.

Hmm.  Still, as POTUS you gotta be the example.

It's vaguely reminiscent of Bill Clinton walking in to the Ron Brown memorial, except that Bill knew how to shift gears when he saw the cameras.

Fair enough. But it was a four hour memorial service - Zuma's speech lasted a good 30 minutes (and this was the 'brief' version) and was a history of the ANC and Mandela. I think we should try and remember that politicians are still people :P

Oi.  Stupid paparazzi.  The Obama pics are tailor-made for the headline, but the shot of Dubya doesn't exactly make me think of "flirting."  If anything, it looks like he told a "Chinese guy, and Irish guy, and a Polish guy walk into a bar" kind of joke.

I like Cameron's response that it was right in Mandela's spirit that he should accept a photo request from a member of the Kinnock family.
