http://time.com/3895191/toddler-tantrum-president-obama/The President handled it like a pro
Well, someones not very happy about meeting President Obama.
A toddler visiting the White House in April for Passover dinner had a fit and threw herself down on the Red Rooms carpet right at Obamas feet.
The Commander-in-Chief handled it like a pro, gamely mugging for the camera as young Claudia Moser, daughter of journalist Laura Moser, wailed in front of him.

always seem to respond positively to the President.

(82,383 posts)16. she might have been dragged away from something
she wanted to pay attention to.
My nieces do that. Tell the to put down what they are doing to come and say hi to grandma or eat dinner can set them off. "Put that down and say hello to the President."
