Funny you should ask!
As it happens, the White House marked the blues legend’s passing by posting a video featuring a different King — King Obama:
"There's going to be one killer blues session in heaven tonight" —Obama on #BBKing's passing: http://t.co/ASs9ovvWrf https://t.co/e18l7Kf2Of

OFA opted for a still photo (don’t worry, Obama’s the focus of this one, too):

Well, to be fair, it’s not the president himself who’s doing the posting. But tweets like this are just products of the culture of narcissism that he’s carefully cultivated as POTUS. And he loves nothing more than to bask in his own glow.
@rnieto4 @PolitiBunny @BarackObama Never misses a chance for narcissism.

Good taste? Not so much.
@BarackObama Why does it always have to be about you? Just say "Thanks for the music and the memories, B.B. King." pic.twitter.com/PiH18OY9tg
