WASHINGTON —
President Obama cracked some dad jokes and danced to Michael Jackson's
"Thriller" at his last Halloween celebration at the White House Monday.
"You
guys all look scary, or cool, or whatever you're trying to be," Obama
told the assembled trick-or-treaters. "We hope, parents, that on this
day at least, you don't have to pay attention to Michelle and healthy
eating."
"Candy for everybody," the first lady agreed.
"And
in fact, the more candy, the later you eat the candy, the better," said
the president. "Because I think that you being up all night with a sugar
rush is exactly what your parents are looking for."
The Obamas
decorated the South Lawn of the White House and welcomed more than 4,000
people for trick-or-treating, mostly from 15 Washington-area elementary
schools and military families. Treats came in the form of Hershey
Kisses, Halloween cookies, M&Ms, Fruit Bars, Kettle Corn, Bo and
Sunny baseball cards and other assorted candies. Tricks were forbidden
by the Secret Service.
Obama dressed up as the president of the United States.
