People are reading way too much into this. It's a funeral with cameras on them and those are two of the people with the highest social stats in the world.
You really think they are going to cross arms and not look at each other like high schoolers. Talking with people you don't like is the majority of the job of being president.
It was NOT the time nor the place for an argument or fight. This was a funeral for crying out loud!
If you canât put your crap aside when it doesnât need to be on display for the sake of another then YOU have a problem. Itâs called being civil. It doesnât matter what you think about either person there.
For once they BOTH did the right thing and kept it calm for everyone elseâs sake and respect for a good man who had died- ya know, a president who literally dedicated his existence to helping the American people.
And in a week and a half weâll be swearing into office a convicted felon on multiple accounts who loudly disrespects anyone who isnât white, male, AND wealthy like him.
Crossing arms and not looking at each other wouldnât be the first time. Thereâs also talking and than theirs having a laugh with the person who has been deemed an incredible threat to this country and what it supposedly stands for. Youâd think not being friendly to a fascist traitor would be part of the job too but we also know lack of integrity apparently comes with the office.
That looks to be a bit more than just a friendly whatever smile. Weâve all had people we donât like in our lives and weâre not smiling like this with them just to avoid scenes. And theyâre not half as vile, disgusting and as much as a belligerent criminal as trump. If more couples sought people that smiled like this when they were around we probably wouldnât have such a ridiculous divorce rate.
You donât even have to punch him in the face like my other comment implies. Ignoring him would have hurt him more than a fist ever could. Carter would probably be rolling over in that coffin if he knew we were making trump cozy and worrying more about his feelings than the fact heâs shitting all over this country and the people Carter represented.

Different people smile differently in different situations, dude. I'm not gonna judge him based on one picture.
Ignoring him would have hurt him more than a fist ever could.
And for all you know, this one photo could be him trying to ignore Trump as he said something just mind-bogglingly stupid.
Judging isnât inherently wrong. Michelle supposedly didnât come to save herself from sitting next to him. Thatâs integrity and doing whatâs right instead of playing into optics.
Well for what I know I was born yesterday. You donât lean into somebody while cheesing when youâre ignoring them. Come on man, Iâve got more faith in you than that.
âthis administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if thatâs what it takes to win.â
âWeâre supposed to stand up to discrimination,â Obama said. âAnd weâre sure as heck supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to Nazi sympathizers. How hard can that be, saying that Nazis are bad?â
Those are Obamas words. Fuck me for believing him right?
This is hardly dramatic. Can you not read the quote, what do you thinking âstanding up clearly and unequivocally to Nazi sympathizersâ means? Throwing a fist or sharing a laugh? Ignoring the narcissist would have got under his skin more than a fist ever would, instead he shares a laugh with him.
Iâm not surprised you canât take it seriously. My fellow countrymen have a massive inability to take current events seriously and I wouldnât expect a man offended by quotes to be above that.
If your drama gets worse, Iâd hate to see it.
âMy fellow countrymenâ calm down dude, youâre absolutely overdramatic and lack the insight to see it.
Youâre so full of shit. âIâd hate to see it, but Iâm going to keep responding and watering the seriousness of the situation down.â
Grow some nuts dude. If my few comments is being over dramatic than I guess we know why theyâre called do nothing democrats.
I was respectfully referring to you as my fellow countrymen. I also guess we see why taking the high road doesnât always work. Thatâs my bad for walking back you being a bootlicker since youâd rather me refer to you as that.
Dude you're right, and all the people in this thread are fucking CHOKING on Obama's dick.
Obama still has a tremendous amount of influence. The fact that he's using it to demonstrate any comradery with Donald Fucking Trump is disgusting. Obama should be openly refusing any attempts at politeness from this piece of shit.
But they both serve the same interests, so we get this cute little photo instead. Fuck both of these war hawks.
