WASHINGTON — Turns out, the White House did not get egged.
Trick-or-treaters marched up the White House driveway on a wet, snowy Saturday, past the spider web-like gauze, the pumpkins and the costumed actors to the mansion’s north portico where President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama handed out treats, an annual tradition.
“What’s this? Look at this guy,” the president said at the sight of one costumed child. “A headless man. Terrifying!”
And yes, the sweets included signature boxes of White House M&Ms, signaling a temporary respite from the first lady’s healthy eating campaign. Dried fruit and White House baked cookies rounded out the handouts.
Earlier this week, in an appearance on the “Tonight Show,” Obama joked to host Jay Leno that he had warned his wife that if she wanted to avoid Halloween mischief she might want to dole out more than just fruit and raisins.
“I told her the White House is going to get egged if this keeps up,” he said, suggesting that she might want to add “a couple of Reese’s Pieces or something.”
In the spirit of compromise, a trait the president often says is all too rare in Washington, the M&Ms made it into the goody bags. Not exactly Reese’s Pieces, but close enough. (Truth be told, the M&Ms were included in the treats last year, too). The sweet dough butter cookies were baked by White House Pastry Chef Bill Yosses.
The orange lights bathed the north portico as the president in black fleece jacket and slacks and the first lady in an overcoat greeted the parade of children. The Obamas were joined by the first lady’s mother, Marian Robinson.
All three wished their guests happy Halloween and marveled at their costumes.

AHHHHHHHH! A Marxist who wants to take away my country and a Wookie who wants to take away my fried foods! Run Children Run.....LOL
Oh, I can’t wait for Christmas when Barry lifts Hillary’s fat ass up to adorn the top of the WH holiday tree with the traditional condom. Ahhh, the holidays with democRats!
Are they checking for poison and razor blades?
So the pepper standing next to moooochell is her mom?
Look he is dressed up as the purple lipped monster from Kenya
They love giving away stuff they don't have to pay for.
Robin Hood returned the money to the people that had stolen from them by the government. Obama as Robin? Doesn’t work...Obama as the Sheriff of Nottingham would be spot on...
Every picture that I see of Mooch-elle, the Worst Lady, looks as if she is struggling to hold back the words “I hate...(fill in the blank)”.
Barry can't figure out what went wrong The people aren't singing his song Well, here is the gist The people are p...ed And we'll vote him out before long
Hope and Change.... Tragic.
What is wrong with these people? They hand out baked cookies on Halloween? Get those to an x-ray machine immediately! I thought they were supposed to be setting an example.
The pepper looks like Harry Reid to me.
Kids are advised to throw out any unwrapped treat
Too bad all the dried fruit and baked cookies will be tossed into the garbage
