Obama Selfie at Mandela Funeral: Leaders Pose as Michelle Glares

President Barack Obama found time during Nelson Mandela's funeral service Tuesday to sneak in a selfie with a couple other world leaders in between his controversial handshake with Cuban dictator Raul Castro and his commemorative speech, and Michelle Obama doesn't look too happy about it.

In the image that's making the rounds on social media, Obama poses with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Denmark's Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt as the first lady glares.

Many Twitter users criticized Obama for acting silly during the memorial service for the revolutionary former South African president, with some even drawing comparisons to the viral Tumblr site, Selfies at Funerals. 

#Obama and David #Cameron taking Selfie at #Mandela's memorial. Extremely inappropriate and disrespectful. I expected more from Barack.

Others pointed out Michelle Obama's obvious annoyance.

So I think we can all guess Michelle Obama's views on selfies at this point.
