White House staff pulled a prank on Obama for his last Christmas there
The staff shifted Snowmen in the lawn close to the Oval Office window to creep Obama out.
Washington: After years of serving as US President and being known as the coolest leader in the country’s history, Barack Obama is all set to leave the White House as president elect Donald Trump is set to take over.
As an emotional Obama bids adieu to the presidential residence, the staff decided to see him off with a bit of fun as they decided to pull a prank on the outgoing president. While Obama has admitted that he finds Snowman decorations creepy, the staff shifted some of these snowmen in the lawn close to the oval office’s window.
The ploy was meant to make Obama feel as if someone was watching him all the time from the lawn, and the plan worked since images of a visibly stunned Obama were shared on Instagram by White House photographer Pete Souza.
While the staff had some fun by pulling off a prank at the president, Twitter had a field day with captioning the image and coming up with memes.
