Everyone has at least one embarrassing moment from childhood that makes them cringe whenever they look back. For little Claudia Moser, this moment is probably it.
Accompanying her parents during an April visit to celebrate Passover at the White House, Claudia decided to throw a full-blown temper tantrum in the Red Room right in front of President Barack Obama. During the epic meltdown, Claudia threw herself onto the carpet, buried her face in the floor and pounded her frustration into the fabric, leaving President Obama and the First Lady speechless.
A photo capturing the moment was posted to Twitter by Claudias Uncle, writer and journalist Benjamin Moser, showing not only Claudias crying spell, but President Obamas amazing reaction to it:
This is a moment that all parents can relate to, and sometimes the only thing you can do is just let the child ride a fit out. Accepting that he couldnt do anything to pull Claudia out of her cranky mood, Obama raises his hands in defeat while keeping completely composed a technique he probably picked up from dealing with conservatives on a regular basis. Michelle Obama, also rendered helpless in the situation, looks on sympathetically in the background.

Sure. But the kid will get over it in a few minutes and return to being a rational human being.

But it took Obama to find it. There it is, "The Weapon of Mass Destruction!"
Good one!

is something he does on a regular basis.
