Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <W is a criminal, plain and simple.> Here in a nutshell is the problem with the left right now. They got so incensed at the right pointing out the flaws in President Clinton's behaviors that they couldn't just disagree with President Bush's policies - they had to demonize Bush personally. The left couldn't acknowledge that any of his policies had any legitimacy, so they claim all of them were either stupid or evil, and had to be completely reversed. Now that President Obama has either tried to reverse them and realized he couldn't, or simply carried on with President Bush's policies, what can the left say? How can you be against Guantanamo and military tribunals for terrorists and also against giving terrorists civilian trials? How can you be against capturing and detaining suspected terrorists, but for Predator strikes on them? How could you call the Iraq war "lost" and be against the surge, and now note that Iraq is a big success? All that said, while I agreed that President Obama's AA didn't really look quite right, I think the newest version of the Hall of Presidents is the best one yet. I really like how the multi-media show emphasized the Presidents' roles in our history, how it had the Lincoln AA give the Gettysburg Address half way through, and how it had Washington speak toward the end.

Originally Posted By brotherdave I would have to agree that Obama wasn't sculptured by Blaine Gibson, thus the difference in appearance.

Although I haven't seen it in person yet, from the videos and pictures I've seen online, I don't think Obama's figure is that far off.
Originally Posted By finallygoing What I think was really off on the Obama was the body type. They made him too fat. He had the same body type as W. Bush. Obama is a leaner person, and that's what threw me off about him. Do they only have one body type for those A. A.
Originally Posted By brotherdave You know, that brings up a good point. Is Obama's AA body the one that was used for George Bush in the previous version? It would make more financial sense since Bush's figure was a full motion AA in the previous incarnation. My guess is that it's the same robotic figure as Bush, just "redressed" and reprogrammed as Obama. Bush probably recieved a less mobile AA body, possibly left over from World of Motion or Horizons!
Originally Posted By EighthDwarf I just saw Obama's AA - he looked very pale-skinned to me. I had a hard time picking him out from the other presidents at first.
