Peace out, fools! Obama plays the clown by flashing the peace sign for nuclear security summit 'team

Source: Daily Mail

photo'... and gets a very unimpressed look from David Cameron and bemused world leaders

  • President Barack Obama is meeting dozens of world leaders for a nuclear summit in Washington, DC, today

  • He gave the peace sign as the group stood together for a 'team photo' - bemusing dozens of the world's politicians

  • Prime Minister David Cameron looked less than impressed by Obama's behavior amid a strained special relationship

  • Obama recently slammed Cameron for being 'distracted' during the crisis in Libya and turning it into a 's**t show'

  • - World leaders discussed nuclear terrorist threats as well as the controversial Iran deal at the summit





Surrounded by world leaders, President Barack Obama gave the peace sign as they gathered for a 'team photo' during a two-day nuclear summit.

All eyes were on Obama as 54 other presidents and prime ministers joined him in Washington, DC, for crunch talks on Iran and terrorist threats involving nuclear weapons.

There was one set of eyes, however, that was particularly focused on the President - those of Prime Minister David Cameron.

Relations between Cameron and Obama have been strained since the President criticized the Prime Minister for getting 'distracted' during the crisis in Libya and turning it into a 's**t show'.

There was more than metaphorical distance between the pair at today's summit, with Cameron only able to glare at Obama from across the podium as he was elbowed out to the edge of the stage.

Watch the video at the link titled:

World Leaders Pose at Nuclear Summit in Washington

President Obama holds up 2 fingers and says "We've just have two more folks we are waiting for."


This is almost offensive in how deceptive it is.

(I think it hardly qualifies as latest breaking news)

I looked Reuters. There is a series of photos. Sometimes all are waving, sometimes only one, they are looking around etc. No big deal
