I’ll probably get sued by AP for making fun of them, but this evening they ran this photo of President and Mrs. Obama dancing at one of tonight’s balls in Washington. In true newspaper style, the cutline with the picture was careful to identify which of the Obamas was on the left, and which was on the right (in case there was any doubt):

Whew, I’m glad they clarified that!
