As President Obama greeted Pope Francis in Washtingon on Wednesday, camera lenses captured an interesting take on the commander in chief.

Shots from numerous camera angles showed Obama, with what appeared to be horns sticking out of his head, as he met with the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

It’s not every day the devil horns on Obama are so noticeable.

The optical illusion wasn’t just snapped once, but multiple times, including from the back.

At the very least, the pictures seem a bit more honest than the photo of Obama shooting a rainbow from the doorway of Air Force One.

Naturally, Twitter users were quick to weigh in, including former Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann, who noted that “God has the BEST sense of humor.”

@JohnGGalt Yet – here he is. It appears Obama’s ceremonial horns came out for the special occasion. pic.twitter.com/cRq2oGHuTl
