"Choose an outfit that Michelle wears that you don’t like. What is it and why?"

- Bravo television exec and "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen playing a game of "Plead the Fifth" with President Obama at last week's New York City fundraiser with Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Wintour, as reported by the Daily Beast. Clearly, it was this question that POTUS refused to answer even though first lady Michelle Obama tried getting the answer out of him. "Now I want to know what it is," she reportedly said. Cohen also asked Obama about his favorite White House perk ("date nights" on the Truman Balcony) and what embarrassing music he listens to. The president answered none, listing politically friendly artists like Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones.
