Obama Calls Ellen’s Oscar Selfie A ‘Pretty Cheap Stunt’

Ladies and gentlemen, your self-awareness fail of the day…

President Obama is sounding sore that Ellen DeGeneres broke his Twitter record by corralling a group of celebs into taking a selfie during the Academy Awards.

“I heard about that. I thought it was a pretty cheap stunt myself — getting a lot of celebrities in the background, you feeding them pizza,” he said when DeGeneres reminded him in an interview she had broken his record for the most re-tweets.

The photo, which featured Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey, and other stars beat Obama’s tweet from the night he got reelected.

Meanwhile, Putin is taking selfies from a beach in Crimea before he heads to Estonia.
