That’s so awesome! Thanks for the post Van!

I was disappointed that he didn’t know they were audio-animatronics. His staff didn’t know what it was called. If I was running for president, it would be one of main things I’d look forward to. Just knowing they’d make audio-animatronic would make me work harder.

I completely agree Bryce. At first I thought he’d be excited and honored and the staff would have already studied up on it.

But NO – the lady is like “Is that what it’s called?” And Obama’s like “So are these wax figures or hollograms?”

You’d think they would know or AT LEAST research it before hand so as not to look like idiots when being filmed.

My rant is over. ;)
