“In the Obama selfie that travelled the globe, a sour-pussed Michelle Obama can be seen in the backdrop. “Another photo depicts Michelle, who changed seats separating her husband from his “new friend” having her hand kissed by Barack Obama."All of this during a Nelson Mandela’s official Memorial!
“A photo of Obama tweeted by the White House on Dec. 5 in response to Nelson Mandela’s death had been taken six months earlier at the Robben Island prison where Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years imprisoned. (CFP) “You can call ‘Obama Behind Bars in Robben Island Prison’ Obama’s prepper picture. “While America is being held in an ObamaCare stranglehold, blood pressure shot up when a photo of Obama shaking Cuban President Raul Castro’s hand went viral on the Net yesterday. As that photo was still burning its way through public resentment, came the selfie of Obama with Cameron and Thorning-Schmidt. “The Obama-Castro handshake photo made room for morons like CNN’s Chris Cuomo to cash in on publicity by declaring that the handshake was really “the spirit of reconciliation”: “The handshake was obviously a huge moment,” Cuomo said. “But not to be misunderstood, the handshake with Raul Castro, the president of Cuba, we believe was President Obama showing respect to Nelson Mandela and the occasion of today—the spirit of reconciliation”.
“Family, friends and supporters of George Floyd will honor his memory in three cities starting on Thursday. “The first memorial service will be on June 4 in Minneapolis at North Central University's Frank J. Lindquist Sanctuary, where Rev. Al Sharpton will deliver a "national eulogy" and one of the Floyd family attorneys, Ben Crump, will give a "national criminal justice address." “Another memorial service will be held on June 6 in Raeford, North Carolina, the state where Floyd was born, at Cape Fear Conference B Headquarters. “The celebration of life services will head to Houston, Texas, where Floyd had previously lived, on June 8. A public visitation will occur at The Fountain of Praise on Hillcroft Avenue from noon to 6 p.m. local time. “A private funeral service will be held at the same location on June 9 at 11 a.m. local time, which former Vice President Joe Biden is expected to attend.”Meanwhile, If all mourners attending George Floyd’s funeral are truly there to pay him their last respects, they should forgo all self-aggrandizing publicity allowing his loved ones to give him the dignified Christian burial he deserves.
