This photo is a riot!

.




BERLIN — Barack Obama's wax doppelganger took office in several European capitals Thursday _ five days before the real-life Obama takes over in Washington.

In Amsterdam, Obama's predecessor George W. Bush was booted to the sidewalk, complete with baggage.

17. Isn't that James Bond in the background?
The new one, Daniel Craig. That's who it looks like to me. How fitting, Barack and Bond, with Bushie on the other side of the glass there with his baggage. What a hoot!

15. "We're not taking him back here,"
"We're not taking him back here," said museum spokeswoman Annemick Dolfin of the Bush figure. "He's going in the archive."

That's just my opinion.

41. Yeah, it took me a minute to realize it was supposed to be Bush.
They have him WAYYY too dapper-looking, first off. And then, the hair isn't right and the eyes aren't right. They made him much nicer looking than he is. The eyes aren't beady enough and he doesn't have that disgusting smirk.

Obama's looks pretty good though.

27. I still can't believe that IDIOT got drunk at the Olympics.
Anyone who considers him presidential needs to be psychologically evaluated.
