This pic of Obama reacting to a snowman will help you forget this gloomy year

The White House staff is all set for their final Christmas with Barack Obama as the President of the United States. To make this Christmas all the more memorable, some of the staff members built creepy-looking snowmen around the Oval Office to play a prank on Obama. This is despite the fact that it has not started snowing in Washington DC.

“For the past three weeks, there have been four snowmen on display in the Rose Garden. 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 realised the snowmen were too heavy to easily lift. 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. This photo was taken this afternoon as the President signed end-of-the-year bills,” wrote Pete Souza, the Chief Photographer of the White House.

 

Another snowman from yesterday. Yes he enjoyed the prank. See previous post for the backstory.

The prank was finally a success, as Obama finally saw one of the snowmen and reacted for Souza to get the right snap.
