When former President George W. Bush needed a group photo taken on Saturday, he did the obvious thing and asked President Barack Obama to do the honors.

In a video from the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture on Saturday, Bush appears to attempt to take a selfie with a few people at the ceremony.

Unsuccessful, he instead leaned over and tapped on Obama, who appeared happy to step in and help.

U.S. presidents—they’re just like us.
