Much hilarity ensued…

  1. It is entirely possible that Mrs. Obama realized what an ass he was making of himself in public and moved to put an end to it – sort of like a mother separating her children who are acting up.

  2. The Wookie knows that Muslims can have more than one wife.
    She looks like she wants to take her down to Target on Black Friday and have a little discount shopping spree.

  3. Laughed or smiled at a funeral. Why yes, then again, it was either because the funeral was joyful as in a close friend wanted it that way, or afterwards at the reception.
    NOT waiting for the service to begin, as well I wasn’t REPRESENTING a country.
    sorry to pee on your self righteousness there John.

  4. If you think the sexist media was unfair to Sarah Palin but call Michelle Obama a “cow”, “Moochelle”, “miserable bitch-queen, pouty-baby” and “bitch” — you might be a conservative.

  5. ‘Wondering if the people in the row in front of the classless POTUS said anything? They don’t look either amused or impressed.
    For Oblahblah, this trip is a luxurious diversion: a flight in Airforce One, first-class accommodation in SA, and adulation from the crowds … OTOH, Michelle has to live with the guy. I can see why she’d be looking peeved.
    I’m sure it was an arranged marriage. Michelle grew up in the home of Jesse Jackson Sr., who would have realized that in order to make Oblunder electable, he’d need a wife to put an end to any gay rumours floating around.
    It’s all a charade: the marriage and the presidency.

  6. John,
    “You’ve never laughed or smiled at a funeral? Never?”
    Who seriously is criticizing a guy that has wiped out a country or two for smiling at a funeral?
    Obamba, the same guy who authorized and signed the National Defence Authorization Act, ignores the constitution and congress to use the US military against sovereign nations, who has signed more Executive Orders than any other president in history.
    That guy?
    You mean the same guy who personally orders drone attacks on “suspected terrorists” wiping out dozens of bystanders in the process, before breakfast.
    I’d have been surprised if he could manage a straight face at a funeral, much less at a political theatrical event like this one.

  7. Watch for Obama to begin extensive and lengthy negotiations on a Free Trade deal with Norway.
    On his visit to Norway, he’ll start to sing “Baby, it’s cold outside.”
    On her first visit to the White House, she might get a tour of the Lincoln bedroom.
    The more time he has his hands on this blonde, the less they are on the steering wheel of the ship of state, sailing it into another iceberg.
    He’s probably remembering his formative years in Indonesia and the lessons on the Koran, about having up to 4 wives and all conquering all the slave girls he can manage.

  8. OK in the first frame where is the fourth Hand? A little tug & rub was detected and the 100% African American smacked the Man-child. He looks rejected!

  9. These photos portray the true character of Obama like no others since the beginning of his reign. My thanks to the photographer, your efforts will live for a long time even if you end up being punished for your efforts. I just hope whoever you are you’re not an American.

  10. The Wookie wasn’t in control and looked TOTALLY peeved. Outside of Chi-town, she’s just another n—–, er, well, you know.

  11. Poor Barry. Judging from the scowl on Mooch’s face, he’s due for a ghetto style ass whuppin’ tonight.

  12. Yeah sure,
    At your next funeral, giggle, smooch with your neighbour, and take silly selfie’s and see how it goes over.
    What an asshat!

    “At your next funeral, giggle, smooch with your neighbour, and….”
    Especially at a Muslim funeral and your neighbors name is Frank.
    Of course you’d probably find John & LAS dancing with Hamas at the next EGALE protest in Toronto again, so in his defence he most probably means it.
    “Hate Mob Rallies for Hamas in Toronto”

  14. I think the Ladies have a better understanding of this kind of theatre than Men.
    I do know black Women fear white Women, especially blonds.
    Obama in my opinion just humiliated his wife World wide.
    Bath house Barry always had a blond fetish. Mostly men, but he’s versatile.

  15. Zerohedge had a good name this caption post featuring Obama kneeling to Raul Castro. The comments were top drawer as always.

  16. There’s another photo that is one of this group of four photos, and it shows Denmark’s PM speaking over an empty chair as she and Michelle are engaged in a pleasant conversation. You can just as easily believe that Michelle moved over to continue the conversation more comfortably and then when Obama returned, he sat in the now empty chair to the R of Michelle. But, that would ruin the fun we’re all having, and that would be a shame.

  17. Exactly, TheTooner: We have no way of knowing if the missing photo that (according to gellen) shows Michelle Obama and the Danish PM “engaged in a pleasant conversation” was taken after the other ones, or before.
    Also, I’m not sure that one can necessarily determine from a single photo that two women were “engaged in a pleasant conversation”; a lot of women smile when their proverbial fangs are out , just as men can sometimes look like angry, posturing, war-like monkeys when they’re actually being jocular.
    Leaving all that aside, and changing the topic slightly, I think it’s incredibly gauche for heads of state to be taking shit-grinning “selfies” at a *memorial service*.
    Maybe that’s what was bothering Michelle Obama. Kinda doubt it, though.

  18. Funny comment at PJMedia: “Michelle should start a Democrat First Wives’ support group with Hillary and name it after Jackie Kennedy.”

  19. EBD: I can’t find the other photo right now, but check the Telegraph if you want to see the funniest one of all the series. It wasn’t in their paper earlier.

  20. Were I an American I would be sharing Michelle’s sentiments and thanking her for putting a stop to the tomfoolery the president of the USA was engaged in. It would seem the words of Michelle, Valarie etc failed to penetrate the thick skulls of a temptress and a tempter so the best option was to separate them before it got worse.
    Good Grief man you are at the state funeral of a widely respected world leader and you act like a pubescent teenager yukking it up with some bimbo who has the hots for you. What part of solemn occasion do you fail to grasp?

  21. OK, I’m certainly no fan of Obama or Michelle.
    However, it appears from these photos, that she is the only one acting like an adult at a funeral. It appears that she’s the only one who understands that you don’t laugh & otherwise cavort around taking ‘selfies’ and acting like an 8th grader.
    Like her or not, she’s the only one showing some decorum.
    These are the first photos of her I actually like, because they show what a callow and contemptible little boy her husband is.

  22. A large jet plane crashed on a farm in the middle of rural Kentucky. Panic stricken, the local sheriff mobilized and descended on the farm in force.
    By the time they got there, the aircraft was totally destroyed with only a burned hull left smoldering in a tree line that bordered the farm. The sheriff and his men entered the smoking mess but could find no remains of anyone. They spotted the farmer plowing a field not too far away as if nothing had happened. They hurried over to the man’s tractor.
    “Hank,” the sheriff yelled, panting and out of breath. “Did you see this terrible accident happen?”
    “Yep. Sure did,” the farmer mumbled unconcerned, cutting off the tractor’s engine.
    “Do you realize that is Air Force One, the airplane of the President of the United States ?”
    “Yep.”
    “Were there any survivors?”
    “Nope. They was all kilt straight out,” the farmer answered. “I done buried them all myself. Took me most of the morning.”
    “President Obama is dead?” the sheriff asked.
    “Well,” the farmer grumbled, restarting his tractor. “He kept a-saying he wasn’t…
    But you know how bad that sumbitch lies.”

  23. What the hell was David Cameron thinking? The Danish PM… I knew nothing about Danish politics before, and now I know all I need to know. That the POTUS was a shallow poseur was evident for years, and I really expected no different from him. And as for Michelle, of the four she was the only one who showed any decorum, even if the sequence of photos make it look like she’s about to start a catfight.
    The world is being run by crazy people.

  24. They were all celebrating Mandela’s life while Michelle had her mourning face on.
    The change in seating arrangement with Michelle putting herself in the middle ruined what could have been a big trade deal with Denmark.

  25. He does like the ladies, anywhere anytime, at least he has that slick willie thing going for him.

  26. This is how the “First Black” President acts at the funeral for arguably the greatest black leader of our times? Good thing Michelle’s not Texan. She could have shot more than a hurt look. Whatta no-class presidential putz.

  27. BTW – good comments Tim P @ 11:58. I agree 100%. Michelle was a First Lady. The seat beside her was empty.

  28. As if it’s possible to make this whole Mandela funeral farce even more surreal, it appears that the man onstage who was signing for the speakers on the podium, was a fake who was making up the signs as he went along. My God, that could come straight out of an early Woody Allen movie! Then to top it all off so called ‘bishop’ Desmond Tutu’s house was burgled as he attended the funeral. Despite the mainstream media’s best efforts, the true legacy of Mandela’s South Africa shines through.

  29. So Barry Obama gets in a confrontation with Putin, and saysczejju, “Yu want to fight me buddy”? Putin responds, “Anytime” Barry steps back, says here is me buddy, as he hides behind his wife.

  30. Gellen, after extensive Googling the only photograph I could find matching your description is in this Guardian article. I don’t really see that Michelle’s expression is necessarily that of a woman “engaged in a pleasant conversation”.
    The Guardian article does, however, note:

    Ignoring the etiquette tips that have proliferated online since ‘selfie’ was declared Oxford Dictionaries’ word of the year, the three world leaders appeared to momentarily forget the solemnity of the occasion, adopting the mandatory cheesy grins. Michelle Obama maintained her dignity and refused to join in the antics.

  31. The left loves indecency, debauchery, and corrupt leaders, Obamba is just hamming it up for his support base.

  32. Rumour has it that a female White House military aid was posted to Alaska when Michelle took exception to Obbie’s interest in said aid.
