Al Gore would have gotten away with it and often did. No one ever spotted a difference.

They need a bowing cardboard cut-out Obama. I’d buy one.

Those two blondes are seriously NOT guilty. Shame these idiots gave him a prize for anything. They could have at least sent the teleprompter.

Interestingly, the cardboard cutout scored two points higher in the latest Rasmussen approval ratings poll. Respondents reported that it had more executive experience than the real deal. They also appreciated that it had not apologized for the US while in Oslo.

You can tell it’s a cutout of Obama because it isn’t bent over at the waist.

Oh my! Someone needs to laminate it and do the yard-gnome thing with it and have it pop up all over the place.

I guess the Norwegian’s are branching out a bit in the humour department. They are polite to a fault. Perhaps the cut-out was a nice gesture for the little kids, but anyone older than 13 obviously saw the disrespectful humour in it.

Wonder where “Save the Children” got a cutout of nObama in Oslo on short notice?

Is there a WH front team running around with these cutout “just in case” the President no-shows?
