A urinal cake with President Barack Obama's likeness is seen in a urinal at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's "Road to Majority" event in Washington on June 20, 2014.Zeke Miller for TIME by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Jun 20, 2014 4:24 PM UTC President Barack Obama made a cameo at a conservative conference in Washington on Friday—in the restroom. The Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference, which draws some of the biggest conservative icons and presidential hopefuls looking to make inroads with the grassroots, was heavy on criticism of Obama’s domestic and foreign policy agenda. And small figurines of Obama’s head, first spotted by the _Huffington Post_‘s Igor Bobic, were placed inside the urinals in the mens’ restroom outside the conference hall where the likes of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were addressing a crowd of several hundred. > [](https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/480013289708339201) White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer responded on Twitter: > [](https://twitter.com/pfeiffer44/status/480014814853742592) No one has yet claimed responsibility for the stunt. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2905642/obama-in-the-toilet-at-conservative-conference/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2905642/obama-in-the-toilet-at-conservative-conference/"},"headline":"Obama in the Toilet at Conservative Conference","datePublished":"2014-06-20T16:24:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:32:42.679Z","description":"Obama's likeness meets a urinal","url":"https://time.com/2905642/obama-in-the-toilet-at-conservative-conference/","keywords":["republicans"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc74a04b03ddf6a64/698698a4810bbb6fc2c92470/freedom-coalition-obama-toilet.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zeke Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc74a04b03ddf6a64/698698a4810bbb6fc2c92470/freedom-coalition-obama-toilet.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Freedom Coalition Obama Toilet","caption":"Freedom Coalition Obama Toilet","creditText":"Zeke Miller for TIME","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/republicans/","name":"republicans"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2905642/obama-in-the-toilet-at-conservative-conference/","name":"Obama in the Toilet at Conservative Conference"}}]}] ```
