Presidents Park prepares for statue (Delmarva Times)

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) -- A 4-ton bust of President Barack Obama will be positioned to the right of his predecessor at Presidents Park in Williamsburg.

A model of the sculpture has arrived at the 10-acre attraction, which includes the towering busts of all the U.S. presidents.

Everette H. Newman III, president of the park, said the concrete-and-steel sculpture will be 16 feet to 18 feet tall and weigh about 7,400 pounds.

It's Presidents Park - they have statues of presidents. It's their reason for being.

4. Reopening Independence Day.

Difference is that Obama's animatronic isn't going to speak. After people had taken to booing W's spiel a few years ago, they decided that from now on, only Honest Abe gets to talk.

5. Chimpy's statue should be far to the right of the others. And not for entirely political reasons.

But to give an easier target for the birds to shit on. :evilgrin:
