Maybe Beyonce should run for president of the United States next.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle had made a surprise appearance at a school in Washington yesterday to fill backpacks with toys for homeless children.

Most students would be excited to be next to the most powerful man in the world.

But a girl named Madison was dismayed that the surprise visitor was Obama - and not Beyonce.

Obama replied: "I understand... Malia and Sasha (his daughters) would feel the same way."

The first lady piped in and cheekily said: "It's a disappointment."

Madison did try to retract her statement as she said: "But then I realised it was going to be you and that's even better!"

Obama didn't fall for it. "I appreciate you saying that in front of the press... I know it's not really true."

Well, someone else in the room wished for the pop diva as well.

Michelle Obama said: "I'd rather see Beyonce."
