New for the 4th: Disney adds robotic Obama
by Michael C. Bender | July 4th, 2009Barack Obama joined the Hall of Presidents in Disney World this weekend, in what park officials tell CNN is “the most dynamic figure Disney has ever created.”
“We’re very proud of the technological advances that allow this to make him come to life so realistically,” said Eric Jacobson, senior vice president of creative development at Walt Disney Imagineering.
Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin consulted on the project and Disney workers traveled to Washington D.C. to record Obama’s voice for the show. They also worked with White House staffers to make sure his wardrobe, hair and mannerisms were portrayed as accurately as possible.

It doesn’t surprise me at all. The “real” obama is nothing but a robot controlled by the ultra left elites. Why should making a robot out of him at Disney be so difficult?
