The One Slip-Up at the Obama's State Dinner

At the state dinner Wednesday at the White House, no one showed up who shouldn't have this time. But there was one slip up -- by White House Chief of Protocol Capricia Penavic Marshall. She tripped on the steps right before the Mexican president and his wife arrived. President Barack Obama told photographers not to take a picture of Marshall falling from her high heels.
