Obama is 63 though looking older after his service; let's face it the other members of the club could fall off the twig anytime.
Who was the old woman, family member, who nodded off? That had us
laughing.
I'm sure the US is perfectly happy with the fact that you are not a member.

@Horace
Still not as happy as me, nothing could ever tempt me to be President/PM.
I wasn't referencing you being PM or president. I was saying I am happy that your opinion doesn't matter, electorally.

Whose does for the next 4 years.
Its a done deal, only Trump matters. And Mr Musk, until they inevitably clash & fall out.I am a long term fan of The USA, its world influence & foreign policies, though currently watching with some concern at their home affairs.

Am I right? Mr Obama, just can’t sit still and shut up when seated in a crowd. Be it a funeral, an awards night, anything. He’s always seems the first to turn to someone and yap something.

Hard to say because there’s inherent sample bias. Were shown videos of him chatting away with Trump or whomever, videos of him sitting quietly woth his hands in his lap don’t really go viral.

You can see W - almost. But the petty bitch cropped out Trump.
Bitter, perhaps?

True.
OTOH, all it took in California was a cumshot...

Looks like he’s blocked by the column. Not cropped out.

Hmm - could be.
Nevertheless, posting a photo with all the living presidents would have been not too difficult.
But she didn't.
Also, did you notice that at the end of the service, everyone left out the back of the cathedral except Obama and Trump? They walked off to the side for what was probably a private conversation.

She had to get the butt of the lady on the left in the shot. Priorities, you know.

I don't see the column in the picture that includes Mr. Trump. Was the column added?

Why is she and Doug even sitting there? Everyone else in those pews are Presidents and their spouses. VPs were in the 3rd row…

She's the current VEEP?
Irrelevant. She’s never sat in the chair.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure they had to meet DEI quotas for the front row.
