Not exactly 'Borgen' hmm

My immediate thought was, 'Grow Up!'

It wasn't 'Cameron and Obama's selfie' it was that silly prime minister of Denmark's!

What on earth possessed her? I think she was a bit star-struck sitting next to Obama and had to whip out her camera. A bit juvenile on her part IMO.

I think it was totally harmless. This was no ordinary funeral afterall. There were people singing and dancing in the street celebrating the life of a great man. Who wouldn't jump at the chance of having a "selfie" with President Obama anyway?

Selfies are bad enough, but political leaders doing it at a memorial service! What do you think?
