Last Friday, as the Memorial Day holiday kicked off, the official Twitter account of the Democratic Party wished the country “Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone!” by tweeting a pic of President Obama lapping at an ice cream cone as cameras zoomed in to capture the photo op.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper put a sense of proper perspective on this by tweeting back, “Respectfully, @TheDemocrats, this is not what Memorial Day weekend is about.”

Indeed it is not, but for Barack Obama, everything is about Barack Obama.
