Sarkozy Gave Obama a $450 Bathrobe Among $40,000 Worth of Extravagances
Maggie Lange · 04/26/13 09:37AMMaking couple friends seems like a social headache. There are many chances for things to backfire. Each person has to like, or at least tolerate, three other people. It's much more complicated than a forming one-on-one friendship, for sure. But, the payoff seems like a fun assurance of double-dates for always, so it's easy to understand the effort on the part of Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni to woo over their desired couple friends, the Obamas.
