Obama takes selfies at Mandela's funeral

I'm not defending them. I don't know the details of what the convention/seminar/meeting was about beyond what Otis posted in the other thread where he tried to get the fire started on this topic.

That still doesn't make it anti-Semitic though.

 

Do any of you behave this way at a funeral?

incredibly ugly behavior and disrespectful to Nelson Mandela and his family

 

Was it a funeral or a tribute service?

I've been to funerals that were not sad events.

It could've been during this portion. Not all funerals must be sad and grave looking.

 

Right because the people around them were clearly dancing in their seats in the picture.

 

Is your President dancing?

 

Why is Bush insulting Mandela and his family by laughing at his funeral with Bono?

 

WITH A ROCK STAR. THE SHAME.

 

i'm not trying to get fire started on a topic. this topic is ridiculous is what i'm pointing out.

that topic has real debate, and yes plenty of jewish groups are offended by them.

 

Could he be saying, "Good to see you Sonny. Hope the family is doing well...."

 

Inappropriate.

Why would you want to remember Mandela's memorial service with "selfies"?

People grieve differently, and some cultures use this time for "partying"... but it neither was the case here. EVERYONE was in their calm and respectful demeanor, while the POTUS was laughing away with this lady. It just doesn't seem right. Had any other president done this, I would have condemned it, too.

It is a smile with an embrace of the neighbor sitting next to him, which was more than likely after or before shaking hands. Totally different than "selfies" and laughter with a person of the opposite sex. Don't compare the two.

 

Obama has had to deal with ridiculousness from day during the campaign. "putting lipstick on a pig" anyone

meanwhile the last president carried us to a useless war with a useless outcome with no one, his party, the democrats, or the media not questioning the run up to it.

its not racism, its the republicans suck so much these days they are being graded on a curve. cbs runs an unvetted Benghazi story. the list goes on and on

 

Antisemitism is a specific thing. It is not defined as simply something that offends Jewish people.

 

You think Obama was sitting in the section with the average South African person? Come now, that's really silly.

 

texxx's hate has unhinged him from reality.

 

Are saying Obama doesn't like African people?

 

In South Africa Obama wouldn't be considered black (not that he considered that by all in the US, either). He'd be considered "coloured".

 

Look at Laura. She's happy that Mandela is dead.

 

so are salman rushdie and lionel richie. people are evil.

 

What does this have to do with anything?
