Since his election, the president has been roundly criticized by bloggers for using “”I” instead
of “me” in phrases like “a very personal decision for Michelle and I” or “the main disagreement with John and I” or “graciously invited Michelle and I.” 

The rule here, according to conventional wisdom, is that we use “I” as a subject and “me” as an object, whether the pronoun appears by itself or in a twosome.  Thus every “I” in those quotes ought to be a “me.”
