This one’s my favorite…
Remember the Nelson Mandela Memorial service where former FLOTUS Michelle Obama was seen throwing some serious shade at her husband and former Prime Minister of Denmark, Helle Thorning-Schmidt?
Maybe Mrs. Obama has a very serious face when she isn’t smiling, or maybe she really was throwing some shade at the jovial camaraderie that probably seemed inappropriate at a memorial service of all the places.
Anyway, journalists clicking away had a field day when they witnessed one of the most epic ‘well that escalated quickly’ ever.
Here is the sequence of events…
President Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron, and Thorning-Schmidt taking a selfie together
They look like they are discussing how to assemble an Ikea cupboard.
More laughs at something that Mrs. Obama clearly isn’t exactly amused by.
It does get annoying when your man does not understand or chooses to ignore the side-eyes you give him… even if he is the President of the United States of America.
“Whispers, Barack? Really now?”
“Okay that’s it!”
“Honey, did we get the same program? You look like you got a page from a joke book.”
Something seems to have happened in that tiny tete-a-tete and Mr. Obama suddenly seems to forget that he has somebody to his right side.
#awkward
Thankfully for Michelle, President Obama left for his speech shortly after this and this is when she made the smooth move of putting her body between Ms. Thorning-Schmidt and her husband.
Step 1: Lean in to talk. Pretend that you can’t hear anything.
Step 2 : Switch seats.
Problem solved.
Oh, by the way, this last pic was aptly captioned “See the ring, bitch?”
This incident gave rise to one of the funniest three-paneled comics ever…
LOL😀
