Toddler throws a tantrum at the White House – in front of Barack Obama

Being invited to the White House might be a lifetime ambition for some - but not for others.

In fact, for toddler Claudia, having to hang out with US president Barack Obama, his wife and First Lady Michelle Obama, and a host of other VIPs at Passover was, quite literally, the worst thing ever.

Her mother, US journalist and author Laura Moser, posted a snap of the adorable tot to Twitter showing her in the midst of what looked like an epic tantrum - in full view of the POTUS.

To give the president credit, he seemed to take it all in his stride, gesturing to the wailing child with both hands as if to say, "Yep, this is what I get every day."
