Earlier today, tens of thousands gathered at a memorial service in South Africa to say goodbye to Nelson Mandela. Presidents, prime ministers, royals, celebrities and regular South African citizens all came together in honor of the recently deceased world icon and pioneer for peace. What better time to snap a righteous selfie with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and British Prime Minister David Cameron?

You have to respect Barry’s selfie game. He’s not even smiling. That’s not a smile. That’s his swag face. Your #swagface is the one you bust out when you’re feeling so fuckin’ fresh that the common smile just isn’t enough, so you have to let some swag out. See how he’s sort of biting his lower lip, as if to say, “What, bitch?” It’s the male counterpart to the female “duck face,” otherwise known as kissy face.” It takes some serious balls to pull off #swagface in a selfie at a funeral, and from the looks of it, Mrs. Obama does not approve.
Michelle is over there thinking, “Are you motherfuckers serious right now? This is a funeral, and you trifling clowns are taking a goddamn selfie? Hashtag shameful.” Don’t be such a fun-sucker, FLOTUS. Let the POTUS stunt.

I’d bang that blonde chick. #TradingUp
Nelson Mandela was looking down from heaven and saying: “You better tag me in that!”
For real though, you people need to cut out this moral outrage bullshit. If I’m the leader of the free world, and commander in chief of the G-unit that is the US military; I’ll take a selfie with my friends whenever i goddamned please.
Oh, is that right?

” otherwise known as kissy face.” It takes some serious balls to pull off #swagface in a selfie at a funeral”
Obama is an absolute joke, but this wasn’t a funeral – The funeral is next week.
There’s a time and a place for that, but that just not have been it…seems fitting coming from Obama.
third picture… Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, and the Obamas.
The Mt. Rushmore of a modern dictatorship.
WR, you realize there is a difference between a ‘memorial service’ and a ‘funeral’, right?
Classic Barry.

Correction to #9, the windmill high-five from Top Gun is acceptable if perfectly executed.
