Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Joe Biden and their wives got photobombed! They had stopped for a quiet breakfast (yeah, right) at the Yankee Kitchen restaurant in Boardman, Ohio recently.

As they chit-chatted, *Mrs. OMG It’s THEM* decided she just had to have her [picture taken with them](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squadtune). Not wanting to intrude on their private (yeah, right) conversation, she just crawled along the floor while a friend snapped away.

The problem with [photobombing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam) is: who do you show the picture to without them rolling their eyes?
