Title: Lego inauguration
Post by: RobJohnson on January 17, 2009, 01:40:36 AM
Lego master craftsmen have been putting the finishing touches to a model White House, motorcade, and even queues to the porta-loos, as excitement surrounding the upcoming 56th inauguration of a US president reaches fever pitch.

Obama will be sworn in as the 44th American president and first African-American president in Washington on Tuesday. But those who simply cannot wait can already see what the theme park describes as a "pre-enactment".

Visitors to the California attraction can see Mr Obama and his whole family constructed out of the multi-coloured Danish bricks.

Crowds of mini Lego people surround the construction, with onlookers including outgoing George W. Bush and Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Obamagasm aside, Legos are far and away the best toy ever. Also, that lego WH/city rocks.

Some of the picture captions are humorous...

No detail is ignored, there are even four portable toilets for desperate spectators. We've got a feeling that queue won't be moving very fast

That's pretty cool, I don't have the patience to do something like that.

I agree with all of that. Not much patience here either.
