Obama Wax Figures Debut

(AP Photo/Franka Bruns)

Wax likenesses of Barack Obama were unveiled around the world yesterday, and CBSNews.com has put together a photo essay showcasing the many wax faces of the president elect. Check out the photo essay here.

As you'll see in the first two shots, workers at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Amsterdam elected to place a wax likeness of President George W. Bush outside for the occasion. As the wax version of Mr. Bush stood outside – surrounded by luggage – his wax successor looked on with a broad smile.

No, it is not "mission accomplished", rather it is "we have won a major battle, perhaps the major battle in the war against American apartheid. It is truly a cause to celebrate, but there is still a lot of mopping up to do, so party on, and then let us get down to work."

That''s the best use for this fraud. He has been proven a liar the first day after his election. His message of change was to bring the Clinton Administration back into the White House. He lied on his application to the bar when asked about AKA''s. Nothing was entered but we all know that his adopted name was Berry Soetorro. The media and all politicians washed questions about his citizenship under the table. Weird that Kenya sealed all files associated with this phony. Acoording to his grandmother, who was present at his birth, he was born in Kenya. Indonesia, where he went to school has his citizenship stated as Indonesian. They do not allow dual citizenship. It is sad to see that this country fell for the shallow words of a snake oil sales man. Increasing the national debt by 850 billion, who is going to pay for that? He could have made a statement by not wasting $ 150,000,000 for an inauguration party of $ 100,000 for an interior decorator so Michelle; who as we all know has really bad taste, feels at home in the White House. All the BS about his kids going to publi school ---------- GET REAL. Time will tell, but the writing is loud and clear. We are moving into a socalist state with a very heavy emphacism on government. Only good thing about this mess, Hillary is back .

The fact that Obama is such a handsome black man drives conservatives crazy. LMAO!

A wax figure of Obama is appropriate since he has to have a lot of ear wax, given that he never heard Rev. Wright''s hateful anti-American tirades.

what they are not telling you is that all three likenesses were sculpted from obama''s ear wax

I see they have Obama smiling. Just the thought of spending trillions of dollars in bad checks is enough to make him salivate.

Or maybe it was the rod jammed up W''s asss (to simulate a back bone) that got in the way.

I guess they couldn''t bend the figures enough to have Obama kicking Bush''s asss.
