This is not Madame Tussauds.
This is not Duane Hanson.
This is the Paris Grevin Wax Museum, we're talking about here.
And this newest wax entry is a lifelike rendition of President Barack Obama, presented today in front of the Eiffel Tower.
The wax Obama goes into the collection today.
The first lady's favorite food is (are?) French fries. So now the French can wax poetic about the Obamas.

This wax dummy is preferable to the original...
Unlike the "real" Obama, the wax dummy Obama won't raise your taxes, won't fill his cabinet with tax cheats, and won't pass trillion dollar spending bills that bankrupt the American future.

I wish there was a "Bruce" wax dummy. Oh wait, there is, just without the wax!

Two associates in a large LA law firm were riding in an elevator when Warren Christopher, then a senior partner in the firm, got on, and then got off at the next floor.
"He's so lifelike", one of them said after the door closed.
This statue isn't very lifelike.
Also, the real flag pin is a Tiffany. Square.
I beleive I suggested he get one somewhat over a year ago. Someone got one, and it seems to have been a bit of a lucky charm, no?
