100%! All it said was she wanted a support person, she is 78 y/o after all, and wanted to present Obama with a gift as per custom.
How are these "being difficult"?

Former president, that would mean stringent background checks. Perhaps the helper was flagged for some reason, and the Elder rejected all alternatives, insisting on the original help?
