April Fools' Day at the White House

"Kid President" Robbie Novak appears with  the Easter Bunny on Monday at the White House.

Everybody's getting into the April Fools' Day act, even the White House.

The Obama administration tweeted out video of "a special message from the president," framed with a shot of the lectern in the White House press room.

But up popped another chief executive instead -- "Kid President," the character played by Robby Novak in a series of YouTube videos.

"It looks like you were expecting somebody else," said Kid President. "April Fools on all of you all."

Kid President later introduced his reality counterpart -- President Obama -- before the White House Easter Egg Roll.
