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.
