The president and family should be role models, setting the examples, not going along with what others are doing. It would be a higher example for the daughter to sign in cursive (which is an actual signature), and for the president to be more dignified than to post "selfies" like a teenager on twitter.
No matter what the Obamas do, the right would find a reason to whine and complain. Let's not kid ourselves. You know it and I know it.
To micturate and moan about a 12 yr old's signature on a Christmas card is the height of pettiness and idiocy.
LOL, if someone's panties get in such a twist over a president taking a photo, that tells a lot about their mental state, doesn't it?
I actually figured the right wingers foaming at the mouth over this would have moved on by now once there realized there was no meat on that bone, but I guess not.
How was this disrespecting the memory of Mandela when the days following his death, there was dancing and singing to celebrate the man's life? The memorial was held in the same celebratory spirit and it appears that the POTUS was totally aligned with the mood and atmosphere. It was the right wing that disrespected Mandela and what he stood for in the not so distant past and you'd know that if you were even somewhat knowledgable on the issue.

They cling to made-up outrages, it's all they have left.

Why don't you take up this nonsense with the Danish PM, who actually took the pic. AFAIK she didn't post it anywhere. Don't you take pictures at events? How is this EVEN an issue?!

Then how did the photo get published? Someone posted it. If I take one of those shots with my friends, it is informal and goofy, unlike posing for a photo taken by someone else. I'm also not the president or PM so there isn't a comparison. I can't say I'd do one of those photos at a memorial service, even if others were and especially if I were a high level person, it's just not very classy.
And I would not have been allowed to print my name on a card after about age six. I'd be given a new card until I wrote properly. What is wrong with having higher standards if you are the First Family of the United States?
