While there, the well-heeled First Lady disregarded the abject poverty beyond the walls of the museum and, for two hours, furthered diplomacy by procuring frivolous curios and trinkets. As a gentle New Delhi breeze blew through the museum, a musical backdrop for Michelle’s supermarket sweep was provided compliments of West Bengal ‘baul’ folk singers.Those at the museum who watched in slack-jawed amazement related, “Michelle said she would have bought more had she been left with more money.” The “bought more if more money” sentiment is precisely the one held by Mumbai’s street children, as well as the millions of people that America's ambassadors to India, Michelle and Barry, left back home standing on an unending unemployment line.
