Obama Selfie At Mandela Memorial Service - Business Insider
Obama along with Michelle, UK PM David Cameron and Denmark PM Helle Thorn in-Schmidt.
BlackBerry Z10 in the photo? You be the judge. Not sure if its really appropriate at a funeral especially Mandelas but whatever.
- 12-10-13, 10:27 AMR FieldObama "selfie" with a BlackBerry Z10 or do my eyes decieve me?

That's a Z10 alright. Not sure who it belongs to though. haha
Posted via CB10 - 12-10-13, 10:37 AMbekkayI think it belongs to the lady in the middle (Denmark PM). I can't imagine Obama handing the phone to her to take the pic.

Yep Z10 would think it is Obama's , don't think its Cameron's

Yea looks like a Z10.
Michelle looks pissed she wasn't in the pic.
It looks like she is going to kill him here as well

Super human eyes here or what? All I see is a black object that resembles a phone.

Not everyday you see this, irrespective of what phone was used.
- 12-10-13, 10:47 AMR FieldZoom in on the photo in the article you will see a BlackBerry logo on the back.

or adjust your display settings. - 12-10-13, 10:52 AMJuiciPattiesYeah ... i hear what you are saying and not saying it is right either. However, Mandela has been sick for awhile and it is a celebration of his life. It is not often that you see all this people together and they want to mark the occassion. I've also seen some very odd things, such as professional photographers taking pictures of family members sobbing at a funeral. I know it sounds odd and morbid, but every culture is different.
I'm with you though. I don't want to be in any pictures at a funeral and there is a certain level of respect that should come with that. Maybe the First Lady realizes that and hence her "unpleased" look. :) - 12-10-13, 10:53 AMkbz1960Time to get rid of my PB? What tablet do you suggest?
- 12-10-13, 10:54 AMkbz1960I see a pixelated blob is all

Just look at other pictures from this event. In this one we clearly see that's Thorning-Schmidt phone, and that the side media buttons looks like the Z10.
And also the evolution of Michelle Obama up to the point where she sits between the Danish Prime Minister and Barack ;).

Where did you find those other ones?

What total disrespect, no matter how you feel about Mandela, this shouldn't happen at a Memorial. These people are World leaders. Taxpayers money so these 3 can take a selfie. You would think their smart enough not to do it with the world watching.
Posted via CB10 - 12-10-13, 11:39 AMbbmtnaCouldn't tell ya.
I still use my Playbook daily.
I did however pull up this thread on my Playbook and if you click on the picture, it will render a larger, clearer version.
Also, I know that it could probably go without saying, but I meant my original post in good humor.
Have a good one! - 12-10-13, 11:41 AMMiSsY_
That is one pissed off first lady.
But clearly a Z10.
And just for anyone that's interested, today was a memorial, not the funeral.
And it was about celebrating this incredible man and the message he left for the world.
There's almost been a buzz and excitement in the air here all day. It's a momentus occasion, there's never been a gathering of the world leaders, past and present like this before.
It's a tribute to the impact Mandela had on everyone. The memorial wasn't somber, it was filled with people who we singing, despite the rain all day long.
I get the feeling like, it seems quite inappropriate but considering the real atmosphere in the stadium today, I suppose it's understandable.
Plus I personally thought that all the people who felt the need to go outside his house, so they could take pictures of themselves to post all over FB last week Friday........that too me was just tasteless.
But definitely a Z10, well spotted :)

the momorila take hours and hours and lots of waiting so I don't see any problem to make a picture. I also like to see that Obama give hands with the president of Cuba. Respect of both leaders and do you know in cuba there are more doctors then in America and it's free . No hobbos and a great island and very nice people.
- 12-10-13, 11:43 AMavt123lol Michelle ruined their party. Now shes looking over her shoulder with that "I got my eyes on you *****" stare. Total stink eye. Even the lady next to Thorning-Schmidt feels the heat.
This is great. - 12-10-13, 11:56 AMibplutoL...M...F...A...O.... ...... wonder how comfy the presidential couch is?

Michelle is definitely not enjoying herself or maybe not feeling well . . But hubby chatting it up with a decent looking blonde probably doesn't help matters . . .
- 12-10-13, 12:15 PMrevtechMiddle pic looks like Michelle just said something like "if you two don't knock it off I'm going to have to sit between you" and the blonde is saying "well we'll see about that" . . Looks like great opportunity for caption fun . . .
