Obama takes 'selfie' at fallen soldier’s funeral

Filed · 1543

ARLINGTON, VA — Shortly after returning from the memorial service for former South African President Nelson Mandela where he was photographed taking a picture with other world leaders and sending obscene Snapchat messages, President Obama has become embroiled in another controversy, sources confirmed.

According to eyewitnesses, the President was spotted taking pictures of himself on his camera phone at a fallen soldier's funeral Thursday morning at Arlington National Cemetery.

Attendees said Obama had been spotted taking selfies in the men’s restroom mirror before finding his seat next to First Lady Michelle Obama who had positioned herself between the President and the fallen soldier’s “hot cousin.” Obama then snapped two more selfies in his seat — one of him looking upwards and to the right and the other of him making “duckface.”
