Well folks. This was inevitable.

I think a "Hall of Presidential Birth Certificates" would also be appropriate. Although it might be short one copy.

I wonder if the robot version of Obama will need a teleprompter to deliver his speech? They want to make him life-like, right?

I had the misfortune of seeing the exhibit when the Slickster was POTUS. He was not all that well animated; he moved his arms around in a way Clinton would never have done. Hopefully, they will have the teleprompter as part of the current exhibit.

Did they have one of these of Klinton? What was he doing with his hands?

TOTUS in the hall of what-nots and animations. What’s changed?

Will the teleprompter also be enshrined?
POTUS and TOTUS- inextricably linked.

...his left index finger began to twitch uncontrollably, unnerving his aides.

I think it is fair to say his leftist twitches unnerve all of us.

How will we see the difference between Robama from Disney World and the other one in the White House?

Does the animatronic zero need a teleprompter?

...”a robot in and _OUT_ of the White House!”

I doubt they’ll put that on the plaque, but I can imagine, right?

How hard can it be to animate an empty suit. There is more technology in a teleprompter. Sheesh.

Barack Obama was standing on a riser inside a warehouse here, delivering an inspirational speech about the blessings of freedom, when his left index finger began to twitch uncontrollably, unnerving his aides.

Yes, Obama does seem to have a problem with his fingers.

I wonder how anyone could tell the difference.

“How will we see the difference...”

‘Zactly what I was thinking.

How many times a minute does its head go back and forth? It’s got to be at least twenty for it to be lifelike.

Well, his style of delivery is already perfect.
