Is Obama a Wax Figure?

Watch this video twice. The first time, watch his face. The second time, watch his hands. The grin is almost Chesire Cat-like, staying in a fixed position in every shot while the angle of the camera moves. The hands stay in exact position in relation to the body. The angle of the head doesn’t change over 130 frames, either. I don't understand how he was able to do that.

  1. This may be a bit of photo trickery, but even if it's not, how hard can it be to smile exactly the same a hundred times in a row?

  3. No, it looks like the shadows move, not his hand. Watch again, closely.

  4. Actually, it is a strange but common phenomenon for people with certain charismatic mannerisms to look eerily the same in most photos.

  5. He's the FIRST African-American President of the United States of America... I'd say that's an amazing reason to smile from ear to ear lol
