How White House staff pranked President Obama with snowmen

"There's a whole kind of Chucky element to them. They're a little creepy," he toldĀ People Magazine.

When First Lady Michelle joked about putting one in their bedroom Mr Obama said he would move out if he saw one there.

But that didn't stop White House staff having a go at scaring him.

Official White House photographer Pete Souza explained the prank on his Instagram page.
