Washington - A disgruntled White House employee reportedly stashed a Muslim prayer rug under President Barack Obama’s desk in the Oval Office hoping to get the Commander in Chief “in trouble with Christians,” a senior administration official confirms.
“President Obama shrugged it off,” the official, a longtime friend of this blog, told me exclusively. “He’s not going to make waves over a sad and stupid prank like this.”
The source declined to name the employee or give additional details other than to say President Obama spotted the well-worn but neatly folded rug under his desk on Jan. 28 after he dropped a pen and leaned over to pick it up.
The source also said “the person who admitted responsibility” has been disciplined and transferred “but won’t be fired over this per the President.”

Riiiiight.
That’s how it got there.
More like somebody saw it and Obama had to explain it.
