Barack Obama's Amazingly Consistent Smile

Barack Obama's amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.

Ladies and gentlemen, your President is a robot. Or a wax sculpture. Maybe a cardboard cutout. All I know is no human being has a photo smile this amazingly consistent. Is the guy even human?

On Wednesday, the Obamas hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, during which they stood for 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries in town for the UN meeting. The President has exactly the same smile in every single shot. See for yourself — the pictures are up on the State Department’s flickr (link below). And, of course, compressed into 20 seconds for your viewing pleasure. It is not a cardboard cutout, his thumb is in different positions in many of the photos. The rest of them he's ... the same. Eerie.
