White House staff prank Obama with snowman decoration
http://hill.cm/HGbDPbF



White House staff decided to use holiday decorations to pull a prank on President Obama, with White House photographer Pete Souza catching the whole thing on camera.

In an Instagram post this weekend, Souza showed a snowman decoration looking in on Obama through a window in the Oval office. Many online saw the photo and commented the snowman looked as if it were stalking the president.

In the post, Souza explained it was part of a prank.

"Sometimes you gotta have fun. For the past three weeks, there have been four snowmen on display in the Rose Garden (see photo in earlier post). We've been joking that we should move the snowmen a few feet closer to the Oval Office every day to see if anyone noticed. Then we realized the snowmen were too heavy to easily lift," Souza wrote.

"But finally this morning before the President came to the office, some helpful staff — I won't say who — moved all the snowmen so each one was peeking through a different window into the Oval," the post continued. "This photo was taken this afternoon as the President signed end-of-the-year bills.

The WA were the first thing I thought of when they said the original idea was to move them a little closer each day. It would creep me out!

That was one of the great enemies of the Doctor and why I loved the Matt Smith Doctor series.

Creepy indeed!

It will be interesting to see if Trump makes it through
his first eight weeks without having a breakdown.
