Creepy Obama

Barack Obama's amazingly consistent smile

by Eric Spiegelman

Ladies and gentlemen, your President is a robot. Or a wax sculpture. Maybe a cardboard cutout. All I know is no human being has a photo smile this amazingly consistent. [cough... antichrist... cough]

On Wednesday, the Obamas hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, during which they stood for 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries in town for the UN meeting. The President has exactly the same smile in every single shot. See for yourself — the pictures are up on the State Department’s flickr (link below.) And, of course, compressed into 20 seconds for your viewing pleasure.

This may be a bit of photo trickery, but even if it's not, how hard can it be to smile exactly the same a hundred times in a row?
