I felt the little White House meeting with Queen Elizabeth left a little to be desired. It was “awkward”. There were also times when he seemed “awkward” in press gatherings. I know, I know, there’s no point in saying that he did anything wrong, but I know his mother would have handled it differently, as would his father. W is the most delightful guy in the world, but Cary Grant, he ain’t — not that ANYONE from Texas would want Cary Grant. ;-)
“awkward” is not ill-mannered.
