Obama pulls a total dad move while taking a selfie with Bear Grylls

http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2015/09/02/barack-obama-bear-grylls-dad-selfie/

Barack Obama, Dad-In-Chief.

Since it’s 2015, Obama obviously had to take a selfie with Bear Grylls while filming their episode of Running Wild in Alaska. (Yes, you read that correctly—Obama is Running Wild.)

And because Obama is the ultimate dad, he pulled the ultimate “olds taking selfies” move and left his finger in the frame.

Then topped it off with the corniest Insta caption of all time:

Glad this was the only Bear I met in the park. -bo

If I had thought this article was hostile to President Obama, of course I would have never posted it. I take it as gentle teasing. I can see myself (a dad) doing exactly what he did. Selfies ? WTF. *cue old man* WHEN I WAS YOUNG, WE ONLY TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF OTHER PEOPLE, GET OFF MY LAWN!
