The whole world seemed deeply affected by this week’s burning of the iconic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.
We know that because the flood of photos of people’s visits to the landmark that were posted to social media as a memorial.
Former President Barack Obama also took to social media to commemorate this terrible event.
But, being the tireless self-promoter that he is, Obama didn’t post a picture of Notre Dame, but rather of himself!
Notre Dame is one of the world’s great treasures, and we’re thinking of the people of France in your time of grief. It’s in our nature to mourn when we see history lost – but it’s also in our nature to rebuild for tomorrow, as strong as we can. pic.twitter.com/SpMEvv1BzB

Yes, that appears to be a shot of the Obamas inside Notre Dame, but they are clearly the focus, not the cathedral.
This has been a trend with Obama, always making sure he was at the center of photo ops that should have been highlighting others.
