Strange White House photos from the past

These photos were plucked from a Washington Post “Picture This” gallery.

President Richard Nixon meets with Elvis Presley in this 1970 photo. Elvis, said to be a hard drug user in the 1960’s and an abuser of prescription drugs in the 1970’s, wanted to be designated a federal agent at large for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs - oops.

This photo taken in May 1978 was signed: "To John Gacy. Best Wishes. Rosalynn Carter." It was found at Gacy's house in suburban Chicago -- along with 33 bodies of dead boys -- later that year - oops.
