#RIPNelsonMandela: The White House REACTS on Mandela's passing.

These pictures are my favourite as he reads a book to Mrs Obama and sits like a good boy with Mrs clinton. No doubt the First Ladies  are upset tonight about Mandela's death. He transformed us all. Below is the tweet President Obama's people sent out when he heard.

Obama tweeted:  "A man who took history in his hands and bent the arc of the moral universe towards justice." He later tweeted "Let us pause and give thanks for the fact that Nelson Mandela lived."
