Selfless Obama doesn't 'want a photo op' with critically ill Nelson Mandela

Heh. President All About Me never met a photo op he didn’t like. But what’s this?

Obama on seeing #Mandela:"We’ll see what happens when we land.I don’t want a photo-op..last thing I want to do is to be in any way obtrusive

That’s a newsflash that deserves the all-caps treatment, no?

Of course, there’s really no need for a new photo op with the ailing Nelson Mandela. Obama’s already checked that one off his bucket list and we’re sure we’ll see this one tweeted from the White House account some time soon.
