And the selfie jumped over the shark…

Joe Biden joined Instagram Wednesday, and soon after posted a “selfie” with President Obama that has taken Twitter by storm.
Warning: If you’re close to your computer screen, back up just a little … like maybe to the other side of the room:

Obama and Biden were in Pennsylvania promoting a “job-training plan,” though we’re not sure exactly where they were located when the picture was taken other than obviously in the presidential limo.
No word yet on whether Biden texted the picture to Vladimir Putin as proof of the unity of U.S. leadership:
Putin is going to fire a selfie back at Obama, while he's hogtying a wild boar.

That sounds like it could make a good buddy cop show!

I'm just glad the Biden/Obama selfie didn't include a toy 777.

Biden has now mastered the “selfie.” Can twerking be far behind? Shudder.
