PICTURE: The Most Unimpressed Visitor to The White House Ever

Not everyone is excited to see The Oval Office...

Rebecca McKnight

It’s one of the most impressive addresses in the world, but even a visit to The White House wasn’t enough to sate this youngster’s boredom. 

In a picture that will surely now be dragged out for every landmark occasion in his life, one little boy has absolutely no interest in the discussion his mother and Secret Service agent father were having with Barack Obama, aka the most powerful man in the world.

Instead, he decided to work on his face-planting technique on an Oval Office couch.

Photographer Lawrence Jackson captured the funny moment, which was shared by The White House among a selection of behind-the-scenes photographs via its official Flickr account.
