Maybe former WH occupants - from ARKANSAS - ate finger food or - are you ready - CHINESE!!! Perhaps they used chopsticks.

I hadn't thought of that one! I did read that Hillary changed how food was served at the White House though. She changed from the French way of serving food on platters after noticing that her guests were making a mess of things (well, what do you expect when you invite the press and the staff to these things?) Hillary had everything plated up so that no one would end up with food in their laps. She really dumbed things down.
