Slog tipper Mandy says this is "possibly the best moment of Inauguration Day!" I wonder if we'll ever know what terrible joke Speaker Boehner was trying to tell the First Couple.

I also enjoy the fact that Barack's laugh seems more about Michelle's predictable reaction than the joke.

Almost as good as the eye-roll is Boehner's uncomfortable effort afterward to discretely see if the camera is on them.
