Question

Now that it is a possibility that Michelle Obama might be first lady should she take lessons in ETIQUETTE?

Answer 1

did you mean diplomacy?  i'm sure she has table manners.

Answer 2

Ya can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear!!

Answer 3

and why doesnt she have manners  exactly??  I think shes great

Answer 4

Oooops, peppersham, you seem to have touched a sore point there with some people.

Maybe she will have lessons if she gets the job!!!

Meeting foreign dignitaries must require a certain type of person who can smile and be charming even when gritting ones teeth about their politics etc.

So, yes she will need coaching on how to handle these people, and a host of other situations that will be unfamiliar.

Answer 5

Have you noted some lack in her manners that would require this?  While I have never met the lady, I am guessing that she is not a cretin who has no clue about table manners or which piece of silverware to use when presented with multiple choices at a fancy restaurant. She is, after all, a graduate of Harvard and has been the wife of a United States senator for four years.  

Why would you think lessons in etiquette necessary?

Answer 6

She needs to learn how to stand up straight - that's fo' sho'.

Answer 7

Do you care to elaborate?  What etiquette is she currently lacking?
