Barack Obama's Staff Played A Festive 'Prank' On Him

It's been blatantly obvious over the years that during his run as preisdent Barack Obama has always been up for a laugh.

He's also become the fuel to many people's meme addictions, along with some help from his trusty sidekick, Joe Biden.

Recently, as his time in The White House draws to a close, staff have been 'pranking' Obama, getting a bit creative with the festive decorations.

"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," White House Photographer Pete Souza said on Instagram. "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."

Obama enjoyed the 'prank' of course, and what followed, as you'd expect, was memes.
