I think the new Obama robot looks curiously like George W. Bush.

Very odd.

I wonder if Len's gonna have this in his trip report? I can't wait to read his take on the HoP.

In watching that YouTube White House footage, I was disappointed to see that the Disney people had to explain what The Hall of Presidents is. I mean, c'mon, Obama, you're a dad. Take your kids to Disneyworld.

"Holograms!" Yikes!
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

They had to explain to Busch what a store scanner was!

I realize that Obama's face was the first one not done by Blaine Gibson (but by his hand-picked apprentice), but ... I mean, it sorta looks like they'll have to redo it. Surely someone must have pointed out "Hey, that guy looks sorta wrong" before they launched.

I'll be interested to see Len's pics/report (hopefully they didn't skip it).

I agree - he looks really weird. Especially when compared to some of the other ones who look spot-on.

Is Len back yet? Or has anyone else seen it in person? I'm curious to hear the report from someone who (presumably) didn't hear any bad press about it before going in.

Yeah, where is Len?!?! Maybe still in withdrawel? I'm interested to hear a report on this too. I was disappointed we didn't get to see the Hall of President's when we were there in May.

I will be there in October, and definitely plan to see it, so if Len hasn't come out of his depression by then, I will report.

This is hilarious Ghosthost!

I will be there in 3 1/2 weeks... I will report when I get back for sure! I love all the patriotic stuff, always cry. What a dork.

I thought so too! I hope nobody takes that the wrong way. I didn't vote for the guy but the president is the president and deserves respect. That being said, we all have to be able to make fun of one another every now and then. I'm with you, I cry every time I see Hall of Presidents and especially the American Adventure show. Huge lump in the throat!

My family has a bet every time we go to the American Adventure as to how many minutes before I start crying! Geeeeze, no matter how many times I see it, there I am, crying like a baby!

Well, if you see him through the teleprompter glass, that's exactly how he looks.
