George W Bush mocked for dancing at Dallas memorial service

Former US president's moves leave Michelle Obama in abject horror

It may not be the first time Geroge W Bush has raised eyebrows with his actions, but the former president of the United States shocked people, including the Obamas, at the memorial service for slain Dallas police officers.

At the somber affair, when everyone looked glum and bowed down in respect, the former US president appeared to be in a mood to party.   In a video of  the service which was attended by Barack and Michelle Obama, among others, Bush can be seen moving along with the music as the choir sang “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”.

While everyone on stage bowed their heads respectfully, Bush, wearing a royal blue suit, can be seen bobbing his head. Clasping his hand in quiet but abject horror was Michelle Obama.



The former president's awkward moves left many on social media questioning whether his behaviour was appropriate given the grave occasion.

Here’s what they had to say:
