“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Well here’s a blog post slightly over 6,000 words. Don’t worry, it won’t take you long to read it.
It’s about the behavior of several heads of state at the Mandela Memorial in South Africa, an event which itself was turned into a bit of a farce.
From sign language interpreters who didn’t know any sign language to politicians not having the sense to realize they were on a world stage and everyone was watching, it was all a bit pathetic really.
But funny too!
.
.
President Obama shares a joke with
Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
Michelle Obama obviously didn’t get it – or did she?
.
.
.
Now a bit of touchy-feely from Obama
who is obviously enjoying the encounter.
The look on Michelle’s face seems to indicate that
she is not too happy with the way things are going.
.

Obama and Helle take a little ‘selfie’ photo with her cell phone,
as British Prime Minister David Cameron tries to form a threesome.
Michelle, looking even more pissed off glowers into the distance.
(Wonder if the NSA is bugging that phone?)
.
.
.
The happy couple get closer and share another joke.
Michelle gets farther away,
and she still ain’t laughing!
.
.
.
Obama gets up to say a few words,
assisted by the sign language interpreter for the deaf.
Yes, that’s him,
the interpreter who didn’t know any sign language at all.
You couldn’t make this up!
.
.
.
When he come back to sit down again,
Obama finds that the seating arrangements have changed.
Michelle is now between him and the lovely piece of Danish.
Suspecting he may have blundered Obama takes Michelle’s hand and kisses it.
Michelle gazes off into the distance.
She has a “it ain’t gonna be that easy to fix this one, buster” expression on her face.
.
.
.
With his new little friend isolated
Obama studiously looks in the other direction.
Michelle still ain’t laughing!
