Mich and Barry never seem to fit in - no matter what they wear, the gifts they give, the engagements and speeches - it just never seems to work. They are never genuine. I bet some 24 y/o intern thought of the iPod with Barry's famous speeches on it.
It's like they try to offend others by saying the wrong things, addressing the wrong world leaders, giving odd gifts, insulting treasured customs, and wearing inappropriate clothing for an event.
Pres Bush was so genuine in smiling and laughing when he goofed up during a speech. Laura was thoughtful, classy, and distinguished right next to him. Such a contrast.
BINGO! It's like they do it intentionally. Nobody could be that ignorant. I think it's an "in your face" to manners and etiquette. Are people not expected to know socially acceptable behavior at Harvard and Princeton? The Obama's are just rude!
