As Obama boarded Air Force One on the final day of his “Mission of Friendship” to Jamaica, he took a moment to use his magical powers to cast some irie vibes back onto his gracious hosts.
Luckily, someone was there to snap a shot of the incident, and the White House’s official Twitter page picked up on the epic photo – but don’t you dare ever suggest that they saw it as a propaganda chance of a lifetime.

I mean, good lord. Talk about the “permanent campaign.” Actually, you can’t blame them for jumping on this. It’s the kind of stuff that Kim Jong-un pays photoshoppers 9 rice grains an hour for.
Naturally, the Twitter hate poured in, but some of it was actually pretty funny.
