White House Hosts Trick-or-Treaters

Man, this would've been so cool if you were a trick-or-treater in the nation's capital:

The first lady was dressed as a leopard, with a smear of eyeliner, fuzzy ears and a spotted orange-and-black top. The president was dressed as a middle-aged dad, with a black cardigan, checkered shirt and sensible brown slacks. Together they handed out treats on the steps of the north portico of the White House Saturday night, sending some trick-or-treaters into fits of shock and joy.

Of course, there's always somebody willing to spoil the party:
There were, of course, real spooks roaming in the gray, foggy distance. On the far end of cordoned-off Lafayette Park, a witch held a pink sign that said "This White House is haunted by ghosts of Bush's war."

Whatever.

Good on Obama and the Mrs. for making a memorable Halloween for a lot of kids.
