The Gold-Medal winning Olympic Gymnastics Team was at the White House the other day and McKayla Maroney posed with President Obama in a look-alike picture.

Even McKayla Maroney was impressed.
A photo of the Olympic gold medalist gymnast and President Barack Obama doing her now-famous "McKayla Maroney is not impressed" face went viral Saturday after the White House posted it on Twitter. The two took the picture Thursday when Maroney and her Fierce Five teammates visited the White House.
"He was the one who brought it up," Maroney told The Associated Press. "We were about to leave and he said, `I want to talk to you one second about the face.' He said, `I pretty much do that face at least once a day."'
Maroney was photographed making the half scowl with her nose scrunched up while she was on the medals podium after winning silver on vault at the London Olympics. It spawned dozens of "McKayla Maroney is not impressed" memes - including one showing a photoshopped Maroney in the White House Situation Room on the night Osama Bin Laden was killed.
The "face" has become Maroney's trademark. But it's one thing for fans to ask her about it, quite another when the president does.
"I, like, freaked out," Maroney said. "He said, `Let's do it together.' We took a picture and now it's everywhere."
