Toddler throws tantrum in the White House. President Obama plays it cool.

Poor little Claudia Chaudhary just WASN’T HAVING IT at Passover dinner with President Obama last month, and she wasn’t afraid to let her opinions be known.

By Elizabeth Tenety November 19, 2015

We’ve all been there. Your perfectly-behaved toddler throws a tantrum in the most inappropriate place: Church. A preschool interview. THE WHITE HOUSE.

Poor little Claudia Chaudhary just wasn’t having it at Passover dinner last month, and she wasn’t afraid to let her opinions be known—not even in front of President Obama. Claudia and the presidentwent viral this week, which sounds like the title of an amazing toddler book series we’d love to read. For his part, the leader of the free world reportedly was “totally unfazed, and said something like: ‘She’s just doing her job,’ before laughing.”

We’d venture to say Obama has faced fiercer opposition. But Claudia definitely takes the cake for the cutest.
