    I heard that on the Radio this morning. It's actually a pretty big scandal in South Africa! No one knows who the interpreter was, but he wasn't signing any known method.

    Leave it to the Narcissist-in-Chief to go to Nelson Mandelas' funeral to supposedly 'honor' the man by yucking it up with the white girls and taking pictures of his favorite subject: himself.

    To be fair, from how I read it, it was the Danish PM who initiated. Still, a bizarre and dumb thing to do.

    Are you sure he wasn't signing in Khoikhoi and nobody could understand him. :D

    Apparently, according to the photographer who took these pictures, THAT is complete bull.

    But hey, Michelle must be a jealous bitch, right? She IS a woman, yaknow.

    So, anyone have anything to bitch about ALL the other ones on their phones, texting, FB-ing, calling, or is it just micro-analyzed Obama who get all the shit once again?

    A fake interpreter is obviously not as important as spewing bs.
    How the hell did that man get there? Who hired him???

    Yup.




    Before, during and after shots, note the switched seating positions. :lol:

    From what I've read he was hired by the SA Gov. He has done sign language before in that nation with no issue. Seems he has been covering up the fact that he has mental issues and, from what he is saying, had an episode during the event.

    As for the pictures above I'm more disappointed that he was doing a meme with others. I know everyone is saying this was a joy filled occasion celebrating Mandela's life. Yet there is a certain decorum expected from heads of states, these three failed IMO.

    In regards to the handshake so many are yelling about, who cares it's a freaking handshake at a memorial for a man viewed around the world as a freedom loving person and unifier of people. Sometimes a handshake is just a handshake.
