President Obama Enters Halloween-Decorated White House

In this photograph, taken by Amanda Lucidon on October 30, 2013, President Barack Obama pauses outside the Halloween-decorated South Portico and the entryway to the Diplomatic Reception Room. The president was returning to the White House following a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, where he spoke on the Affordable Care Act. For the Halloween festivities in 2013, the South Portico was illuminated in orange and decorated by cobwebs and black and orange garlands. Other decorations for the occasion included over 185 carved jack o'lanterns and reused Bo and Sunny pipecleaner and ribbon topiaries from the White House winter holiday celebrations.
