Photographer who took POTUS selfie photo ashamed he broke news

Photographer who took POTUS selfie photo ashamed he broke news. “Why do people care about a selfie?” he said. “This is a sad reflection of our society.” Oh, boo hoo. It’s an even sadder reflection of your “profession” that this bothers you. Just pretend it was Boooosh and you’ll feel better.

  • I was always told a picture was worth a 1000 words. So the photographer has nothing to be ashamed of. It is quagmire that should be ashamed of their behavior.

    Back to the picture. It proves that quagmire is all about himself and what he wants to do no matter when he wants to do it. Therefore, all doubt has been removed. Quagmire is CLASSLESS and an PRICK!!!!

  • Best thing about this photo is Michele Obama's body language. I almost feel bad for the President being with that total pain in the ass.

        Although I do have to say that she at least showed SOME decorum

        Kimmy, I have to disagree there - her grimace was classless and unprofessional for the spouse of a politician.

        • That's a good point however she didn't participate in the act that perhaps in my opinion was more without class.

  • And the media boot licking just keeps getting worse, and worse. Reminds me more and more of a certain dictator in N. Korea.

    • It's not likely that a vengeful Republican would sic the IRS on him or the FBI, EPA, ATF, and OSHA will begin making a series of unscheduled visits to a family member's business.

  • I heard about this and couldn't believe it... So pathetic. Someone made the case that it was a celebratory event and people were dancing and what not, however, it was still not appropriate for big ass people responsible for millions of lives to do this.

    Regardless of it being appropriate or not even if he thought it was so cute that the President did it... Seriously he is ashamed? Come the heck on! Is he a sissy?
