But first, let POTUS take a selfie

The President would like you to know that your demands for him to lay eyes upon the wasteland of human degradation that is our southern border are nothing more than a blow to the dignity of the Office.

This week, President Obama fielded a considerable amount of angst over his neglect of the U.S.-Mexico border. The President failed to go anywhere near the border during his recent fundraising trip to Texas, and when asked by the press why he was avoiding the area, he responded in kind:

Jeh Johnson has now visited, at my direction, the border five times. He’s going for a sixth this week. He then comes back and reports to me extensively on everything that’s taking place. So there’s nothing that is taking place down there that I am not intimately aware of and briefed on.This isn’t theater. This is a problem. I’m not interested in photo-ops; I’m interested in solving a problem. And those who say I should visit the border, when you ask them what should we be doing, they’re giving us suggestions that are embodied in legislation that I’ve already sent to Congress. So it’s not as if they’re making suggestions that we’re not listening to. In fact, the suggestions of those who work at the border, who visited the border, are incorporated in legislation that we’re already prepared to sign the minute it hits my desk.

No one in the history of the meme has ever asked for it with a more aggressive lack of self-awareness. Via Digitas Daily:

This, coming from the man who once snapped a selfie at a humanitarian’s funeral.

No, wait, it’s worse.

This, coming from the man WHO WAS MOCKED BY THE SUN for taking a selfie at a humanitarian’s funeral:

The situation on the border is the culmination of years of the Obama Administration’s failure to enforce current immigration law. Foreign leaders and nationals alike have absolutely no faith in America’s willingness or ability to stop the flood of illegal immigrants that is currently running over 50,000 strong.

President Obama isn’t afraid of a photo op–the man’s life is one big photo op. The fact is, President Obama is afraid of being photo-bombed by starving children whose heads are crawling with lice.

It would never do to have that on the White House website.
