Michelle Obama rolls her eyes at John Boehner
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, tries to engage Michelle Obama in conversation by tapping her on the arm

Michelle Obama was clearly not impressed by House Speaker John Boehner at the inaugural luncheon on Monday, as a camera caught her twice rolling her eyes at the congressman as he tried to engage her in conversation. 

Mr Boehner, the Republican leader of the House of Representatives, was seated to Mrs Obama's left and President Obama was on her right as they dined. 

Boehner made a remark to the First Couple and tapped Mrs Obama's arm, as if to engage her, but she refused to make eye contact with him, according to a video recording of the exchange that unfortunately did not capture the audio of the conversation.
