No Obama remembrance would be complete if he didn’t include a photo of himself.
Obama tweeted a tribute to golf great Arnold Palmer, who died on Sunday at the age of 87.
But in classic Obama fashion, the president found a way to make it about himself.
Here's to The King who was as extraordinary on the links as he was generous to others. Thanks for the memories, Arnold. pic.twitter.com/UlyfpIBOL2

“Here’s to The King who was as extraordinary on the links as he was generous to others,” Obama tweeted. “Thanks for the memories, Arnold.”
The photo was of Palmer watching Obama putt a golf ball in the Oval Office.
It, of course, wasn’t the first time the president made himself the center of attention.
The president tweeted out a photo of an image of Muhammad Ali in June after his death — with himself in the foreground looking at a handheld device.
He shook up the world, and the world's better for it. Rest in peace, Champ. pic.twitter.com/z1yM3sSLH3

He did something similar when remembering Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 2015.
